Viewers spot tension on This Morning today?

Today’s edition of This Morning saw Carol and Gyles appear on the show.

The duo were on to talk about some of the day’s biggest news stories.

Once again, they spoke about Harry and Meghan’s new documentary, which dropped its final three episodes on Netflix yesterday (Thursday, December 15).

However, Carol seemed less than interested in speaking about the Sussexes and their show this morning.

“Good to see you! Obviously, we’re still talking about this Harry and Meghan documentary,” Alison said at the start of the segment.

Carol then appeared to audible huff and rolled her eyes, seemingly drawing a look from Alison.

“Everyone’s talking about it,” she continued. “I still haven’t seen all three episodes.”

“Everyone’s talking about it except for members of the British Royal Family,” Gyles then said.

Fans of the show claimed that Alison wasn’t too happy with Carol’s reaction to having to discuss Harry and Meghan again.

And viewers believed they’d spotted some tension between the pair.

“Alison clearly did not like how Carol was rolling her eyes and uninterested at having to cover H&M lol,” one viewer claimed.

Alison’s face at Carol Vorderman eye-rolling at #HarryandMeghan on #ThisMorning is a PICTURE,” another then wrote. 

@thismorning can’t understand why Alison screws her face up when Carol V speaks the truth about Megan and Harry. Very obvious to us viewers,” a third then said.

However, according to some viewers, it wasn’t just Carol who was bored of talking about Meghan and Harry.

“Even Dermot [O’Leary] is clearly bored of Meghan and Harry now,” one viewer alleged.

However, there was clearly no hard feelings between Alison and Carol when the cameras stopped rolling.

The pair posed for selfies after the show with Carol admitting she “loved” being part of the This Morning “family”.
