This Morning viewers all had the same complaint after tuning into Monday's show. It marked Ben Shephard and Cat Deeley's hosting debut on the flagship ITV breakfast show.
ITV bosses were on the hunt for the permanent replacements to front the programme after Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby's shocking departures. A string of presenters had been drafted in to presenting roles before GMB's Ben and Cat Deeley took over.
Many fans were hoping it would be a fresh start for the show with the announcement of the new hosts, but were left complaining seconds into the opening credits on Monday as they took to social media.
People were left baffled as to why Cat and Ben's debut didn't see the show make another change to the titles, which had previously featured Holly and Phil according to the Mirror.
One fan wrote: "Not permanent enough to add them to the opening titles then? ITV still hesitant to commit. #ThisMorning," whilst a second added: "#ThisMorning..same old set, theme tune, graphics and segments. Even same opening titles - couldn’t even be bothered to add Ben and Cat in like the old previous hosts."
"This was ITVs chance to rejuvenate the program and move on from the past - and they missed it." A third wrote: "#ThisMorning - Ben & Cat will be great but the sadness that there's no set [change] is strong - always my fave bits of a relaunch, new studio sets."
