This Morning viewers took to social media to complain over a “ridiculous segment” on Thursday’s edition of the show. Guest host Sam Thompson and presenter Josie Gibson reported live from The Cheltenham Races.
Fans of the show threatened to “switch off” as the pair reported from the annual equestrian event, with the duo even getting involved in a piggy-back race as they reported on the latest odds and which Royal Family members would be attending.
One person moaned on X: “Oh ffs, not that hyper Sam!!! Give me strength!!! #thismorning,” as another person commented: “Sam Thompson. I just can’t. #thismorning,” with a gif of someone turning off their television.
A third typed: “Just turned on #ThisMorning and I’ve got Josie Gibson trying to mount a human dressed as a horse and Sam Thompson whipping someone dressed as a horse, that’s enough for one day.”
A fourth fan chimed in: “Josie is chucked back out to do those ridiculous segments on location again. I wonder what she has done to deserve being paired up with Sam Thompson though. #thismorning.”
