This Morning - fionntan - 05-09-2022

Phillip marks 20 years since joining This Morning tomorrow. Wonder if they’ll go all out to celebrate it again?

Spin To Win has returned today and "Win your energy bills for 4 months" is being offered as a prize. Normal island.

I know Twitter will be all over this as todays Twitter storm, but household prizes like ‘we’ll pay your mortgage for a year’ etc have been prizes on various competitions for decades

Pay your energy bills for 4 months seems a bit stingy, a year would be more generous.

Exactly. Plus 'pay your bills' has been quite a common radio competition over the years too.

But by falsely equating the two and trying to normalise this you’re just proving why people do have a problem with it. Our mortgages  and our impending astronomical energy bills are not the same thing. It’s well meaning and I don’t necessarily think it’s something they shouldn’t do but there’s immense danger in normalising this catastrophe.

I bet you ITV bosses wouldn't sign off on a year though, as with the Cap going up who knows just how much that would be.

It's a very tasteless prize right now, I can see why twitter is unhappy.

TBH had it been pay your bills for four months without the emphasis on energy no one would bat an eyelid.

 "Pay your bills" is a bit vague. Which ones? 2 of them? All of them?

They should keep it vague and just have monetary amounts.
