Holly Willoughby is back on This Morning and viewers\u2019 jaws dropped at her bizarre re-introduction. <\/p>\n
In a fever dream opening, the cast of the ITV show burst into song with a Mamma Mia mash-up, building up to the presenter\u2019s return.<\/p>\n
The 42-year-old has been off the air for two months for her summer break, which came shortly after the exit of longtime co-star Phillip Schofield.<\/p>\n
She teased the end of her break with a well-timed stint on Midsomer Murders, receiving mixed reviews from unconvinced viewers.<\/p>\n
As her This Morning co-stars danced around her, Holly walked out with co-host Alison Hammond to Dancing Queen, singing along and having a little shimmy.<\/p>\n
Viewers were so confused at the musical extravaganza, which had both the London West End performers and various presenters having a singsong and dance.<\/p>\n
\n<\/p>\n
Abba\u2019s hits like SOS and Take a Chance were belted out before the moment fans had been waiting for, the return of Holly.<\/p>\n
While the presenters were clearly enjoying themselves, some viewers were less impressed with criticisms of it being \u2018cringe\u2019 and \u2018hellish\u2019.<\/p>\n
Holly laughed with Alison, with both saying they were \u2018out of breath\u2019 as they arrived in the studio having \u2018run\u2019 from the Mamma Mia staging.<\/p>\n
She was in good spirits as the duo laughed about \u2018Holly\u2019s balls\u2019, clearly having enjoyed the absurd entrance.<\/p>\n
Fans weren\u2019t so keen, taking to X (formerly Twitter) to express their confusion and downright dislike for the baffling choice.<\/p>\n
\u2018This is it, we\u2019ve reached peak cringe,\u2019 wrote one viewer, while another said: \u2018It\u2019s 10am, we don\u2019t need a musical.\u2019<\/p>\n
\n<\/p>\n
A third added: \u2018What on earth is this fresh hell??\u2019<\/p>\n
One viewer scathed: \u2018If there\u2019s a more cringe inducing show than #ThisMorning I\u2019d like to know.\u2019<\/p>\n
James Martin\u2019s appearance sparked some chatter as people laughed that he wasn\u2019t \u2018being paid enough\u2019.<\/p>\n
Gyles Brandreth\u2019s outfit got a lot of love though as his pink jumper had people asking if he was \u2018an extra in Barbie\u2019.<\/p>\n
Some did enjoy the bizarre entrance, with one writing: \u2018I\u2019m the only one liking this?\u2019 <\/p>\n
If you ask the internet \u2013 yes they were the only one who enjoyed that fever dream.<\/p>\n
