One posted on X: ‘#ThisMorning The presenter barrel has been scraped today.’
While another brutally added: ‘Can’t think of two worse hosts. It’s almost insulting.’
‘Can’t be listening to these 2 #thismorning,’ another viewer penned, alongside an image of someone turning a TV off.
Another said: ‘McGuinness? No thanks #ThisMorning.’
While someone else said: ‘Oh no, not McGuinness #thismorning.’
During the show, JoJo Siwa surprised Chris Hughes live on This Morning during his segment at an animal sanctuary.
JoJo stood in the studio alongside Alison Hammond and Paddy McGuinness and spoke to Chris.
He exclaimed: ‘That’s my Joelle, I know that voice, that’s the voice that gives you energy in the morning.’
The pair chatted and revealed JoJo would be visiting the Cotswolds next week to meet his family.

Alison asked JoJo: ‘I’m so invested in you and Chris, I’m loving this little relationship but just for the record, what is your relationship status with Chris?’
‘I will say he is up there as one of my favourite people in the entire world, he makes me happier than I think I’ve ever been, he makes me feel so full as me, he’s a really good one who has been the most incredible addition to my life,’ JoJo gushed.
It isn’t the first presenter shake-up on This Morning, earlier this month Cat revealed Dermot would be joined by Lisa Snowdon on May 16, instead of Alison, who usually features on Fridays.
At the end of the episode on May 15, Cat told viewers: ‘Dermot is presenting tomorrow alongside Lisa Snowdon.
‘They will be joined by BGT choir Hear Our Voice ahead of this weekend’s semi-final.’
Ben added: ‘Clodagh leaving the cows and children and tractors… She’ll be back in the studio for a Eurovision party snacks.’
Cat added: ‘The coupon king is going to be back here with his weekly deals. That is tomorrow from 10!’
