This Morning was unexpectedly yanked off air due to a technical hitch, leaving viewers puzzled during Tuesday’s (December 10) show.
The ITV morning programme had to issue an on-screen apology while fans were keen to see presenters and Cat Deeley in action. Instead, they were greeted with a message: “We’re sorry for any disruption”.
Viewers were quick to take to social media, with remarks like “ITV has been disrupted #ThisMorning” and another chiming in, “ITV is off air.”
The broadcast resumed shortly after the brief intermission. Cat’s on-air antics drew criticism too, as some fans lambasted her for what they deemed “inappropriate behaviour”. The stir arose when she cavorted in a swimsuit live on TV, reports .

Ben reminded Cat on-air about a Christmas party gift from Josie Gibson, presenting her with a skimpy swimsuit adorned with his face.
Whilst claiming she meant to leave it behind, Cat teased she might wear it later, eventually appearing with the garment over her clothes after returning from a break.
Unimpressed, several viewers voiced their objections on X previously known as Twitter, with comments such as “Surely, this is inappropriate and suggestive behaviour from Cat?”.

One viewer grumbled: “#thismorning @thismorning I have just chucked my breakfast up looking at that awful bikini.”
A similarly unimpressed fan added: “These two make me cringe when they try to be funny. #ThisMorning.”
Meanwhile, another agreed saying: “Even when Cat tries to do a ‘funny bit’ it comes off clunky, forced and cringe #ThisMorning.”
This Morning airs weekdays on ITV at 10am
