THIS Morning fans have been left furious as they noticed a show change that happened – and nobody noticed.
The ITV daytime show recently brought back its popular Spin to Win competition.
It sees the show’s presenters try and win the viewer on the phone a cash prize of up to £3,000 – but it all depends on where the wheel stops.
The segment had been replaced by a new coin drop game, before it was brought back just weeks ago by This Morning bosses.
However, eagle-eyed viewers have noticed the prize pot has significantly dropped – with the jackpot now just £1k.
Taking to a web forum, one viewer said: “Since when has Spin to Win prize amount been so low… only went up to £1000, today’s caller had £500 pounds! Didn’t it used to go up to at least £3000?”
A second wrote: “Yes it did. It’s been given a real deterioration prize value wise.”
“Since they brought Spin To Win back a few weeks ago the prizes have been a lot smaller,” said a third.
While a fourth chimed in: “I’m guessing on the previous game they played (I can’t remember the title but they dropped a token from the top which landed in a prize slot below) they gave away such large amounts, they decided to reduce the prize amounts this time round to save their bank balances.”
Meanwhile, This Morning’s long-serving boss Martin Frizell announced his departure from the show last month.
It shocked ITV staff including presenters Cat Deeley and Ben Shephard who could see a presenting “shake-up” with a new team expected to come in and rejuvenate the brand.
Martin said: “Next year I’m expecting my family priorities to change so I need to free up time for them.
“I love my team at ITV and will miss them and the thrill of live telly but it’s an always on, 24 hours a day, seven days a week commitment and I won’t be able to do both.
“It’s been a privilege to lead truly great presenters and producers, between us we’ve turned out more than six thousand hours of live topical telly, that’s around 20,000 items and the gongs are always nice.”
