This Morning fans were none too pleased during Friday’s show, when they noticed a major geography blunder during a segment debating local lockdowns.

Stand-in hosts Rochelle Humes and Dermot O’Leary joined Dr Phillipa Kay to discuss the news that the four million residents of Greater Manchester, East Lancashire and West Yorkshire are facing new restrictions.

But a map that flashed up on screen to illustrate the areas was a little off-kilter, to say the least. And fans were quick to call the show out over the blunder.

The visual guide showed a map highlighting Greater Manchester, Lancashire and West Yorkshire, but incorrectly identified West Yorkshire as being in south Manchester.

Fans took to Twitter to mock the mistake, suggesting that This Morning producers ought to brush up on their geography.

‘#ThisMorning Who does your Geography? You got Yorkshire and Greater Manchester the wrong way round!‘ tweeted one viewer.

While another suggested that the producers might benefit from going back to school, writing, ‘someone didn’t pay attention in their Geography lessons lol.’

‘Sweet Jesus!! Somebody needs to get their Geography right! #westYorkshire has moved over night #manchesterlockdown #thismorning this country has gone to pot!, tweeted another exasperated fan of the show.

The embarrassing geography blunder is the second time this week fans have criticised a slip up on the morning TV show.

Fans took to social media on Wednesday to blast a ‘senseless’ segment on super expensive luxury real estate, presented by Eamonn Holmes and Ruth Langsford.

Viewers accused the show of being insensitive and out of touch in light of the current financial situation many find themselves in following the coronavirus pandemic.

The segment featured luxury real estate agent Christine Quinn from the Netflix reality series  Selling Sunset. She appeared via video link to show off a £40 million house in London’s Highgate; complete with 10 bedrooms and seven bathrooms.

How to cook turkey crown: The best turkey crown recipe

Image
A turkey crown makes a handsome centrepiece on the Christmas table and is the ideal turkey option for smaller festive gatherings. A turkey crown is a whole turkey with the legs and usually the wings removed, so just the white breast meat is left on the bone. It is also possible to buy a deboned stuffed turkey crown where the bones are removed making it extra easy to carve. Both are an ideal choice for a smaller Christmas fest as there is less meat. And although very similar, we do find a turkey crown a bit simpler to cook than a whole turkey. As when cooking an entire bird there can be a difference in cooking times between the light and dark meat. Turkey crowns are readily available from supermarket and butchers in the weeks leading up to Christmas and Thanksgiving. They will often come adorned with an attractive bacon lattice or herby decoration to make them look extra special – and to save you the job of dressing it yourself! Per kilo turkey crowns are generally more expensive...

Can you wear black to a wedding? 15 of the best outfits

Image
Credit: Canva We ask the experts the age-old question, can you wear black to a wedding? In most social settings, the LBD is a fail-safe option. However, there are certain ‘rules’ and guidelines – often dictated by wedding traditions or the happy couple themselves – which makes wearing black to a wedding a tricky decision to navigate. Traditionally, black was avoided at weddings due to its association with funerals. “Black is traditionally associated with mourning and funerals. Wearing a black, uber conservative outfit to a wedding ceremony may potentially send a negative message that you are not in support of the union,” explains Diane Gottsman, a national etiquette expert and founder of The Protocol School of Texas. Times have certainly changed though, and modern weddings are a lot less restrictive. From jumpsuits to co-ords to colourful suits, wedding guest outfits have come a long way from posh frocks and fascinators. Can you wear black at a wedding? What the experts say… O...
