Holly Willoughby is back on This Morning after a two month long summer break, and viewers were treated to a bizarre reintroduction of the beloved presenter.
The cast of the ITV show performed a Mamma Mia mash-up featuring a plethora of West End performers, with the crescendo being Holly's entrance.
The 42-year-old was joined by her co-host Alison Hammond as they danced their way onto the set singing along to Dancing Queen.
The musical extravaganza was met with confusion and surprise from viewers who weren't sure what to make of the strange opening.
Holly and Alison were clearly enjoying themselves, however, laughing about 'Holly's balls' and being out of breath from 'running' onto the set from the Mamma Mia staging.
The duo were joined by James Martin and Gyles Brandreth who received mixed reviews- with people laughing that James Martin wasn't 'being paid enough' and praising Gyles Brandreth's pink jumper.
While some viewers enjoyed the 'fresh hell' of the opening, many took to twitter to express their confusion and dislike for the entry.
One viewer wrote 'This is it, we've reached peak cringe' while another said 'It's 10am, we don't need a musical.'
Though the internet was mostly unimpressed with the opening, Holly and Alison clearly had a great time.
This Morning airs every weekday at 10am on ITV, and fans are sure to be excited to have Holly back on the show.
