This Morning fans smoke and issue warning as host drops C-bomb live on air

This Morning viewers warned ITV producers “don’t even go there” during the latest episode.

The show’s loyal audience was taken back when hosts Josie Gibson and Craig Doyle kicked off the program with the sound of jingle bells, daring to bring up “Christmas in August”, sparking immediate outrage among fans in the first moments of the broadcast.

X, formerly known as Twitter, was awash with similar sentiments as viewers vented their frustration over the premature festive discussion, with summer still in full swing.

One social media user tweeted: “#ThisMorning omg on about Christmas already are u lot on drugs,” while another shared the sentiment: “Christmas? Isn’t it currently still Summer right now + we’re in August as well. #ThisMorning “

Another fan cautioned sternly: “Don’t even go there,” accompanied by an angry emoji, and yet another added to the chorus with: “Great Christmas In August lol ##ThisMorning.”, reports the Mirror.

In a separate development, Craig, 53, has become a topic of conversation after he unexpectedly deleted his Instagram account this week.

The Irish presenter, who has been co-hosting the show with Josie Gibson during the summer as stand-ins for regular hosts Cat Deeley and Ben Shephard, is known for his active social media presence.

His sudden disappearance from Instagram has raised eyebrows among his followers. A quick search of his account results in error messages such as “This page is n’t available” or “User not found”. This has been described as “odd” by various media outlets, especially considering his prominent role on the ITV program this week.

This Morning airs weekdays on ITV at 10am
