Viewers slam Theresa May as This Morning is axed for general election
Hosts Eamon Holmes and Ruth Langsford informed audiences the broadcast would be interrupted as they headed over to Downing Street where the Prime Minster announced plans to call a public vote.
Speaking outside the Prime Minister head-quarters, Theresa May said: “We need a general election and we need one now.
“I have only recently and reluctantly come to this conclusion. Since I became PM I said there should be no election until 2020.
“But now I think the only way to guarantee stability for the years ahead is to call a general election.”
