This Morning was kicked off the air on Friday after a technical issue wreaked havoc and accidentally played a series of random old clips.
Viewers took to .
‘We will return to normal programming as soon as we can.’
Presenters Alison Hammond and Dermot O’Leary then reappeared and apologized to viewers.

This Morning was kicked off the air on Friday after a technical issue wreaked havoc and accidentally played a series of random old clips.
Dermot added: “Three beautiful films to watch.” It’s almost as if Giles went backstage and fiddled with a couple of buttons just so we could lie down for a bit.
They were joined in the studio by Gyles Brandreth and Isla Traquair to resume the Morning View segment of the show.
Former politician Gyles, 75, – married to Michèle Brown since 1973 – jokes that every time he appears on the show, his wife puts the TV on mute.
He said, ‘Well, I tell you, when I’m on, my wife turns the volume down so she doesn’t miss it.’
Alison added: ‘So he’s going to upload it again now? I love live television.’
This morning he also turned to X to address the outage. They wrote: ‘Sorry for the technical issues, we’ll get back to you as soon as possible!’
But viewers were less than impressed, saying the glitch had “taken control of the show.”
They wrote: ‘Whatever the technical problem was, it has thrown the show off course – Alison and Dermot are all over the place. I wonder what segments have been discarded in those 15 minutes of inactivity?
Others said: ‘How to patronize your viewers: “gremlins.” You have to be honest with your audience’ and ‘Let’s see what happened then’.
“It’s really strange to come out of thin air, it must be something big.” Dermot didn’t look good before they disconnected, Alison could even be heard saying “well done” and he responded by saying thank you before she hung up.
‘Where the hell has This Morning gone?’
