This Morning has dropped “energy bills” and “household bills” from the prizes on their Spin to Win game.
Presenters Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby returned to the ITV daytime show on Monday (5 September), where they introduced a newly revamped version of the game.
Half of the prizes on offer on the wheel would see the show cover four months of energy bills for the winner, presumably a reference to the cost of living crisis and the increasing energy price caps.
Schofield asked one caller if he was concerned about his bills, with the man replying: “Oh, major. I’ve got one of these pre-payment meters and it’s absolutely murder.”

However, viewers were shocked by the change, with many branding it “dystopian”. Writing in The Independent, columnist Emma Flint...
