Furious This Morning viewers slam show for 'overpriced' fashion segment with £250 outfit | The Sun
THIS Morning fans have slammed the show for their "overpriced" fashion segment with £250 outfits.
ITV viewers were left fuming after watching fashion guru Louise Roe present her autumn best buys alongside presenting duo Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield on Thursday.
The segment comes after producers were forced axe its Spin To Win household bills prize after a huge backlash – and the show being branded "tone deaf".
Today's fashion segment included a blue electric suit priced from at £105, a cardigan for £65 and a pair of strappy heels for £60.
The first outfit totalled £232.99, which featured a chunky knit cardigan, a floral purple dress, boots and a suede handbag.
While the second outfit came to a grand total of £175, minus the jewellery and handbag, and the final outfit featuring a tweed blazer was priced at £175.
But viewers insisted that the show was yet again "out of touch" amid the current cost of living crisis.

One wrote: "Cost of living crisis for many but if you've got a spare £220, you can buy 'one' of #ThisMorning's fashion segment outfits."
A second posted: "Why are you showing us £250 outfits and acting like it's practical?? Can they show us something affordable please because this is borderline depressing. #ThisMorning"
A third said: "Can't afford to live but at least I'll blind everyone with my electric blue suit. #ThisMorning"
"#ThisMorning being out of touch again with their overpriced fashion," a fourth echoed.

Someone else tweeted: "Any of you ladies with a spare £220 can have that first outfit. #ThisMorning"
One viewer pointed out: "Not reading the room with these prices. ThisMorning"
Another viewer echoed: "#ThisMorning is hilarious, they go from reporting on the energy price crisis with people struggling to pay energy bills, to oh here's a bunch of outfits you should buy for over £200.
"This fashion segment is ridiculous. Pretty much everything is over £20 – who pays £20 for a pair of s*** earrings from M&S, they'll be blue within a week," someone else added.
It's not the first time that This Morning has come under fire this week.
On Monday's show the competition offered viewers the chance to have their energy bills paid
Outraged fans took to social media to slam the concept as Spin To Win players were playing for either a cash prize or all of their household bills paid until the end of the year.
On Wednesday's episode of the ITV show it was revealed Spin To Win was back to normal – offering callers prizes between £800 and £2000.
While neither Phillip Schofield or Holly Willoughby acknowledged the decision, it didn't go unnoticed.
One viewer tweeted: "Oh they have taken the energy bills off nowt to do with them getting a load of flack for it."
Another said: "They’ve removed the patronising stuff off the wheel!!"
And a third added: "Household bills conveniently removed today…"
The reversal came after This Morning was hit by hundreds of complaints from viewers upset by the offer to have their bills paid as a game prize.
