What happened on This Morning today?

Today’s edition of This Morning saw Alison and Dermot welcome “Coupon Queen” Holly Smith back onto the show.

Holly was on the programme to show viewers some of her top weekly deals and how to save money at the supermarket.

However, Alison and Dermot seemed to interrupt and even ignore Holly at times.

As Holly told them about some cheap garden furniture they could buy from Aldi, Dermot sat in one and said: “Oh, that’s nice.”

“Is it comfy?” Alison asked as Holly continued to speak in the background.

This continued throughout the segment, with Alison and Dermot chatting away to each other while Holly stood to one side.

As expected, some viewers weren’t happy.
