This Morning enthusiasts exclaimed "at last" after the beloved weekday programme announced a fresh face set to join the team this Thursday. Regular anchors Cat Deeley and Ben Shephard once again delighted audiences, diving into discussions with guests on the latest buzz-worthy tidbits.

Following the broadcast, This Morning chiefs sent updates ricocheting across social media for those who might've skipped the live ITV experience. In an eagerly watched clip, Cat and Ben unveiled something innovative for the show, signalling the departure of an old favourite segment.

Ben teased viewers with, "Now then we've some exciting news to share with you. From next week, get ready to play a brand new competition that's landing right here in the This Morning studio". Cat chimed in with a reveal, "Take a look at what the board looks like now" The audience was then treated to a glimpse of the shiny new "Coin Drop" game board, tempting them with a possible £20,000 windfall.

Keen to entice, Ben let slip that this impressive pot could be snagged "every single day". Social media users, migrating from the erstwhile Twitter to platform X, shared their two pence.

Michelle voiced her satisfaction, commenting: "At last, something to replace Spin to Win". Meanwhile, Angie lamented the change, confessing: "Ah no I liked spin-to-win. Not that I ever entered [cry-laughing emoji]" The iconic 'Spin to Win' previously brought excitement to mornings, as lucky callers spun the wheel for a chance at fabulous prizes, provided they answered the presenters call with the correct magic words, reports the Liverpool Echo.
