This Morning sparked a huge reaction from its viewers on Monday morning when they tuned in to see a live breast examination taking place during one of the show's segments. 

Host Holly Willoughby was joined by Friday presenter Alison Hammond, who stood in for Phillip Schofield amid his absence, as well as Dr Sara Kayat, who performed a breast examination on a model to show viewers how to properly check for symptoms of breast cancer. 

Taking to Twitter, some viewers couldn't help but express their shock at seeing nudity on daytime television. One person wrote: "Just tuned in. Got a bit of a shock #ThisMorning," while another added: "What on Earth. I cannot believe they're getting away with showing boobs at 10:35 on a Monday morning."
