What did she say?
Sarah explained: “Do you know what I’m in my neighbours’ house because the internet is down next door.
I’ve had to come to my neighbour’s to do this Skype.
“I’ve had to come to my neighbours’ to do this Skype.”
Host Phillip Schofield quipped: “It’s hanging on by its fingernails!”
They then moved on to the interview and viewers weren’t happy.
One person said on Twitter: “@DrSarahParish you shouldn’t be in your neighbours’ house. If you couldn’t get a signal – it’s too bad.
“People are dying! Stay home, your own home.”
Another wrote: “Did Sarah Parish say she’s in her neighbours’ house to get WiFi to do the interview?
“What’s happening to social distancing?”
A third added: “Hang on Sarah Parish is in her neighbours’ house to use Skype. No social distancing there!!!”
@DrSarahParish you shouldn’t be in your neighbours house. If you couldn’t get a signal – it’s too bad. People are dying! Stay home, your own home. #thismorning

Following criticism, former Broadchurch actress Sarah hit back on Twitter.
What did she say?
She wrote: “I seem to have caused a Twitter uproar!
“I was in my neighbours’ Annex doing the This Morning interview, not their house.

However, Sarah hit back: “It’s their Annex you wally!! They’re not in there!! They don’t use it.”
