This Morning live from Coronation Street
This Morning viewers were yawning over Friday's instalment of the show as Alison Hammond and Dermot O'Leary presented from the Coronation Street cobbles.
The show started with a sketch from some of the Coronation Street cast who were about to sit down to watch This Morning on the TV when they noticed a commotion outside.
Viewers then witnessed a huge street party, which was attended by all sorts of community groups and charities.
Giles Brandreth and Camilla Tominey were also on the show to give some insight into King Charles III's Coronation schedule and lead a royal phone-in with viewers.
However, the special instalment was a flop with fans who took to Twitter to share their thoughts.
