This Morning viewers accused a Spin to Win caller of ‘cheating’ during the segment today.
Michelle bagged a chance to win some cash on Tuesday’s programme after giving hosts Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield the correct pass phrase.
However, Phil wasn’t convinced and thought Michelle, who works in a care home, had given the pass phrase after hearing Holly’s voice.
What happened during Spin to Win on today’s This Morning?
As the phone line went quiet, there was a brief pause before Holly muttered: “Not going to ring is it, nope it’s not going to ring.”
Caller Michelle then said the pass phrase as Holly put her hand over her mouth.

Phil said: “Hi there, we’re going to let you win because you sound lovely.”
Holly asked: “Did you hear me talking?” to which Michelle said: “I can hear you now!”
Phil then spun the wheel and it landed on the jackpot – £3,000!
Overwhelmed, Michelle said: “Oh my God! Thank you so much.”
Phil told her: “You are welcome. How deserving are you!”
After Michelle hung up the phone, Holly said: “Well that was very good wasn’t it?”
Phil replied: “That was worth waiting for wasn’t it… yeah, even though you cheated.”
Holly exclaimed: “I didn’t cheat, she still said the pass phrase!” to which Phil said: “Yeah after she heard your voice. Doesn’t matter!”
