EMBARRASSING AND CRINGE: This Morning Host Craig Doyle Left ‘EXHAUSTED’ After Wrapping Up Chat with London’s Real Housewives
This Morning presenter Craig Doyle was left “exhausted” at the end of his chat with the Real Housewives of London, with viewers taking to social media to comment on the “car crash” interview. Craig and co-host Sian Gibson welcomed the show’s cast onto the ITV show, however the interview took a chaotic turn when the stars were asked to introduce themselves.
The cast is made up of six housewives: Jamaican-born designer Karen Loderick-Peace, homemaker Panthea Parker, skincare CEO Amanda Cronin, Australian event planner Juliet Mayhew, cake company founder Nessie Welschinger and American reality star Juliet Angus.
Karen began by introducing herself on the ITV show but after realising that she had delivered her introduction to the wrong camera, she started all over again. “There you go – one for TV, one of the gram,” Craig quipped afterwards. It comes after Real Housewives of London release date announced as explosive teaser drops.
After the stars finally introduced themselves, Craig told off one of them for looking at the camera monitors instead of him while he asked a question. “You see, the thing is Real Housewives, I know you’re looking at the monitor under the table. Look this way,” he said.
“What we do now is we chat and we let the TV do the TV thing. It all works out.”
It wasn’t long before the Housewives began talking over themselves to answer Craig and Sian’s questions. “Listen, I’m not gonna lie to you. I’m exhausted,” Craig told them at the end of the chat. “I’ve enjoyed the chat, good luck with it all, I think it’s going to be great fun.”
Viewers took to social media to discuss the interview, with one even calling it a “car crash”. They wrote: “London Housewives from anywhere but London, apparently. The intro car crash is enough to tell me it’s not going to be a programme for me. #ThisMorning.”
Another said: “These women do realise that they’re on live tv right, those little rehearsed intros were so awful, I felt embarrassed for them! #ThisMorning”

Meanwhile, a third tweeted: “this interview is chaotic, I can imagine the show what is going on like, I live #RHOLDN #ThisMorning.”
“This is so awkward and all over the place,this is a shocking watch,these talentless women dont represent london at all,” a fourth wrote. “i thought the real house of cheshire was bad but these lots are really awful,where did the get these women from #ThisMorning.”
Earlier this week, star Juliet Mayhew spoke out about her feud with co-star Panthea Parker. She told The Mirror that they locked horns over drama that happened before the cameras began rolling.
