Uncomfortable moment on This Morning today

Monday’s edition of This Morning saw an awkward moment between Holly and Ruth take place. Before midday, Dermot and Holly cut to the Loose Women studio to speak to Ruth about what was coming up on the show.

“Hello you two,” she said. Ruth then went on to speak about what is coming up on Monday’s edition of Loose Women. She revealed that Alex Scott would be on the show.

“See you then. Do you reckon Alex Scott got more sleep than you did last night?” Holly asked as she turned to Dermot, ignoring Ruth. “Three hours this one,” she laughed pointing at him.

Ruth, meanwhile, simply sat there with a fixed smile. Awkward?

At the the end of the show, Holly and Dermot cut to Ruth once again. Ruth teased that they would be discussing “awkward exchanges” on the show. However, this chat was far more friendly, with Holly joking she would be sending some of the cake James Martin just made over to Ruth after the show.

Viewers were quick to pick up on the ‘awkward’ moment, with many taking to Twitter to point it out.

“Ruth’s face when Holly was talking [laughing emoji],” one This Morning viewer tweeted. “It’s so uncomfortable to watch but I love it,” another laughed.

“Ruth’s absolute disdain for Holly is absolutely brutal,” a third then wrote.

“@thismorning how very rude. Holly blanked Ruth and Ruth’s face was a picture. @hollywills needs to get real or get out,” another fumed.

ED! has contacted Holly and Ruth’s reps for comment.

Dermot’s appearance causes a stir

Elsewhere on the show, Dermot’s appearance caused quite a stir on the show. The 50-year-old was wearing a black, short-sleeved t-shirt with a high neck.

Viewers were quick to comment on how “tight” Dermot’s top was. “That’s one tight shirt Dermot has on. Talk about sun’s out, guns out,” one viewer tweeted.

The most disturbing thing on #thismorning for a while is the lovely Dermot O’Leary’s top today. It’s high neck but short sleeves. In this heat. I DON’T UNDERSTAND,” another said. 

“Why is Dermot dressed like a real-life Action Man?” a third then asked.
