Angela Scanlon returned to This Morning on May 28, co-hosting with Craig Doyle, but viewers weren’t holding back. While some praised the duo’s chemistry, most of the chatter online focused on Angela’s outfit — and her stylist caught the brunt of the criticism.
As London sweltered in record heat, Angela appeared in a short white linen skirt paired with a nautical blue-and-white striped top featuring extra-long sleeves. While practical, the look didn’t sit well with many fans.
After yesterday’s fashion “moment” from Sian Welby in a daringly short dress, Angela went for a more covered-up style. One viewer quipped: “Dress appropriately please, it’s the last day of a heatwave and you’re both dressed for winter!”
Social media reactions were swift and unrelenting.
- “Whoever dressed Angela Scanlon this morning should be sacked!”
- “WTF is she wearing?!”
- “Sorry, turned it off already just seeing Angela Scanlon’s outfit!”
Some viewers even suggested using the extra sleeve fabric to lengthen the skirt.
It wasn’t just the wardrobe causing controversy. Several fans complained about the presenting style, claiming Angela and Craig spoke over their guests. One wrote: “Jesus. Did anyone else feel sorry for Alice Beer when those two just spoke over her constantly!? Like two children fighting for the limelight!”

Yet not everyone was critical. Some fans showed support:
- “I like Angela on this to be fair.”
- “Wonderful that we have Angela Scanlon on This Morning today.”
Angela filled in for Cat Deeley, who is currently on holiday with her boys, while Ben Shephard is also off this week. Both presenters are expected back on Monday, June 1.
Whether loved or loathed, Angela Scanlon’s debut as Sian Welby’s replacement has certainly sparked conversation — and her wardrobe won’t be forgotten anytime soon.
