Viewers complained Holly and Phil treated him like a “spare part”

Things didn’t get off to a good start when Sir David, 82 began to discuss his career with the presenting duo.

Fans were left upset that the TV legend, who rose to fame as Derek ‘Del Boy’ Trotter in the iconic BBC sitcom, was “talked over” by Holly, 41, and Phil, 60 during his segment.

Viewers took to Twitter to complain that it appeared to be rushed, and argued that the Spin The Wheel game in the middle was poorly timed.

Callers failed to pick up the phone during the game, while David watched on from the sofa before closing his eyes to take a break.

“We haven’t got time to muck about!” Phillip said at one point, after noticing they had been keeping David waiting during the game.

Taking to Twitter, one viewer angrily hit out: “Making David Jason sit there like a spare part while they play a stupid game?”

While a fifth concluded: “Poor David Jason watching them two act like idiots… Let David have more time for his chat!”

It comes after This Morning fans were left in shock as a guest was seen SCREAMING in Alison Hammond’s face live on air.

Presenter Alison, 47, joined her co-stars Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield to discuss the National Television Awards last night.

Alison – who presents This Morning on Fridays alongside Dermot O’Leary – looked back on her best bits from the ITV show as she discussed how she would feel if she should win the Best Presenter award.

She missed out on the gong to Ant and Dec.

“Is there anyone that’s stood out for you?” they asked her, to which Alison replied: “Do you remember Hamsetu?”

Holly and Phil then ran a clip of Alison meeting the guest for the first time during the pandemic, when she screamed while hugging a cardboard cut-out of the presenter.

The pair then surprised her by bringing Hamsetu in live – who danced her way onto the screen before screaming into the mic.

She hugged Alison, screaming in her face, before they sat on the sofa side-by-side – continuing to scream as Holly began to talk.
