‘This Morning’ has always been what you’d call a varied show, but 2017 seemed to be the year the daytime favourite took that to the next level.
Over the last 12 months, Holly Willoughby, Phillip Schofield, Ruth Langsford, Eamonn Holmes and the gang have served up a mixture of surreal, bizarre and downright hilarious moments.
Here’s how it earned the title of the year’s most ridiculous show on TV...
