This Morning’s Halloween-themed show divides viewers

The show is doing a Halloween special

| Updated:

This Morning left viewers confused and a bit put out today after prerecording a lot of the segments.

It’s Halloween and Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield are planning a big makeover, which they announced at the start of the show.

But as they went on to present the show as usual, fans were confused when Phil started Snapchatting from the make up chair getting himself into costume.

While on our screens Holly and Phil were interviewing the man who was jailed in Dubai for touching another man’s hip, and former Corrie star Katherine Kelly, behind the scenes Phillip was keeping viewers updated with his Halloween progress.

Confusing, huh?

Straight after Holly and Phil had spoken to Doctor Chris they got up and said they had to go and get ready – and Rylan Clark-Neal and Alison Hammond, already in their Malificent and Ursula costumes, took over hosting duties.

By this point, the set had been decorated for Halloween and that was even more proof the show had been prerecorded.

As Rylan and Alison said Holly and Phil only had 25 minutes to get ready and speculated over whether that was enough time, viewers hit out on Twitter saying they knew it wasn’t 25 minutes as Phil had been getting ready all morning.

Others were just annoyed that the show had clearly been prerecorded.

But others absolutely loved the concept and especially the costumes and makeovers.
