On Monday morning’s programme, hosts Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby played fan favourite segment Spin to Win. But viewers were left appalled when, along with the usual cash prizes, money for ‘four months’ of energy bills was available to win. Branding it ‘madness’, a Twitter user wrote: ‘#ThisMorning having ‘energy bills’ as a prize on their Spin To Win is the most dystopian and sad reflection on society right now… How did we get to this point? Madness.
’ While dozens of fans agreed with the comment, it appears This Morning bosses have not taken not, and played the game again on Tuesday’s episode. Rather than removing energy bills as a prize, it was tweaked slightly to include ‘all household bills’ up to a ‘value of £3,000. ’ Phil, 60, introduced the segment with: ‘Everyone’s talking about it, let’s play Spin to Win.
