This Morning viewers were left divided over a male fashion segment today.

Alison Hammond guest edited Friday’s edition of the programme as she hosted alongside Dermot O’Leary.

And upon her request, fashion expert Gok Wan hosted a segment on men’s underwear.

What happened in the fashion segment on This Morning?

Alison told Dermot: “I am in charge and I haven’t forgotten about you. I’ve got Gok, he’s got the best picks in men’s fashion.”

Gok said: “[Alison’s] selfless. She’s done this for you Dermot. Today, we’re talking about menswear.”

Gok continued: “Alison’s also chosen the models…” as Love Island star Jack Fowler appeared on screen.

He was sporting a pair of boxers as he showed off his ripped bod.

Gok said: “He’s modelling underwear! Dermot’s face…”

Dermot said: “For the love of God.”

Gok explained: “Our Love Island boys are joining us on the request of Alison Hammond.”

Alison said: “You look great Jack, well done!” to which Dermot said: “No objectification at all people!”

Meanwhile, fellow Love Island stars Chris Taylor and Michael Griffiths appeared on the show to pose in underwear.

As the camera zoomed in on Chris’ boxers, Dermot said: “Oh come on man!”

Gok then revealed a special pair of boxers, saying: “These are a micro skin underwear and they look like a regular trunk.

“But these actually have a pouch inside with a cavity. What it does is separates your genitalia so you put one part through the hole and the other part stays in.

“These are, they say, a zero per cent sweat,” as Alison was seen giggling.

One tweeted: “The one time they do men’s ‘fashion’ and they do underwear! What a joke!”

Another added: “This would not be allowed with women’s underwear. Can we stop with the double standards?”
