People were surprised after finding out that the popular segment on ITV's This Morning show was not real.

In a shocking turn of events, viewers of ITV's popular daytime show This Morning were recently surprised to learn that a phone-in segment from two years ago was actually staged. The current hosts, Cat Deeley and Ben Shephard, along with former hosts Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield, often invite agony aunt Deidre Sanders to offer advice to viewers who call in with their personal problems. However, it has now been revealed that one particular call from 2022, in which a woman named Jennifer expressed her grief over the death of Princess Diana, was all a hoax.

The clip, which has resurfaced online, shows stand-in hosts Rochelle Humes and Vernon Kay reading out the problem submitted by "Jennifer". Rochelle began by saying, "This is a sad one," and went on to read Jennifer's plea for advice. However, it was later revealed that the caller was actually a man named Dave, who admitted to pranking the show in a recent tweet. He wrote, "Happy 2 year anniversary to when I tricked the #thismorning team into thinking I was someone called Jennifer and I was shaking at the death of Princess Diana."

In the clip, Deidre can be seen offering her advice to "Jennifer", stating that she sympathizes with the caller and that many people are still affected by the sudden loss of Princess Diana. However, Dave's prank was soon exposed, leaving viewers in shock. Many took to social media to express their surprise and praise the hosts for not laughing on air. Some even commented on the iconic line "I'm shaking while writing this," which was used by Dave's character in the fake phone call.

Despite the backlash, Deidre's advice has not always been met with criticism. In fact, some viewers have praised her for offering sound advice in the past. However, there have been instances where her comments have been met with backlash, such as earlier this year when she told a caller to return to her cheating husband. Viewers were astounded by her advice and some even urged the caller to not listen to her.

This Morning airs weekdays at 10am on ITV1.
