This Morning star mocks host in cheeky wage jibe and claims show is 'bankrupt'
This Morning host Rochelle Humes cheekily suggested the ITV show could be docking co-host Andi Peters' wages on Friday as he joked the programme was "already bankrupt" .
The pair welcomed hosts from Boom Radio, who played their favourite tracks but, it was revealed that each song sample aired came with a cost.
After three tracks were played, Andi humorously exclaimed: "This is costing a fortune." Rochelle retorted: "It's coming out of your wages, you know..." Caught off guard, Andi gasped: "We're bankrupt already."
Boom Radio, launched during lockdown, aims to revive '60s music and cater to the 'Boomers' longing for nostalgia.
Viewers of This Morning took to social media to share their thoughts on the new radio station. One viewer wrote: "I've already got a golden oldie radio station to listen to - Greatest Hits Radio #ThisMorning". Another added: "Thought that was target audience for Radio 2 #thismorning", while a third admitted: "I've never heard of boom radio #thismorning".
Phillip Schofield mocks Molly-Mae's baby name in cruel swipe at Love Island star
Andi hosted Friday's This Morning (ITV)This comes after some current and past employees spoke in Parliament about a "toxic" environment with staff raising concerns about "toxic working cultures, bullying, discrimination and harassment".
ITV chief executive Dame Carolyn McCall, managing director Kevin Lygo and general counsel and company secretary Kyla Mullins were questioned by MPs regarding Phillip Schofield's exit amid these allegations.
In correspondence published on Wednesday, Dame Caroline Dinenage, chairwoman of the Culture, Media and Sport Committee, told Dame Carolyn: "In the month that has passed since your appearance before the committee, we have been contacted by a large number of individuals who have identified themselves as currently working or previously having worked on This Morning or as part of the wider ITV Daytime team.
"These individuals speak with great pride about working at ITV and are hugely positive about many of their colleagues. However, they also raise claims of toxic working cultures, bullying, discrimination and harassment.
"Your letter of June 15 encourages individuals to raise their concerns through internal or external routes, and we will make individuals aware of those options.
"However, some of those individuals who have contacted us have described how their decision to raise concerns within ITV has led to further bullying and discrimination, and in some cases having to leave the organisation with a settlement agreement.
"It is easy to understand why those individuals, especially where they have left ITV and do not wish to relive their traumatic experiences, do not feel capable of attempting to report their concerns, or that ITV will take them seriously."
