This Morning viewers complain over ‘cringefest’ scenes amid Dermot O’Leary’s birthday

On This Morning today (Friday May 24), a big deal was made of it being co-host Dermot O'Leary's birthday. But viewers were a bit put off.

Celebrations marking Dermot turning 51 – if you can believe that… there’s a man who must follow the Holy Grail of all moisturising routines – popped up throughout Friday’s (May 24) episode of the ITV daytime series. (Credit: ITV)Dermot also ended up covered in blue confetti, and was also presented with a birthday cake from show guest Bruno Tonioli. But while many of those watching at home expressed on social media how taken aback they were to realise how old the popular broadcaster is, others could barely stand to peep through their hands at another special segment celebrating Dermot’s big day.
