For the second time this week, spiders invaded the Good Morning Britain studio with hopes to cure audiences from arachnophobia.
Strictly Come Dancing star James Jordan, who was visibly trembling, managed to hold a tarantula while he was joined by mother-of-three Michelle, who conquered her fears to let a speedy house spider run up and down her arm.
However, GMB fans struggled to feel the benefits and were simply left reeling as a collection of humungous, eight-legged beasts boomed out of television screens up and down the country.
“@GMB can’t even watch GMB this morning as I have a severe fear of spiders and can’t even look at them without freaking out!!!!” tweeted one angry audience member, which was followed by: “@GMB bang out of order with the spider this a.m AGAIN.”
A third yelled: “Rapidly turning off @GMB due to long close up shots of a house spider.”
One more cried: “Sorry, had to turn over, that spider is worse than Piers,” before this particularly unimpressed critic snapped: “What was the point of the whole spider thing? Some people have a fear of spiders others don’t. Who cares. #gmb.”
Although, others commended Michelle for her “heroism”, with one fan posting: “Hats off to this woman on @GMB there’s no f**king WAY you’d see me with a spider in my hand.”
Matters only got worse when host Ben Shephard revealed that one of the furry guests had escaped.
“It’s been let loose,” he smirked.
Earlier this week, Susanna Reid ran off Good Morning Britain after Piers Morgan threatened her with a giant tarantula.
Good Morning Britain airs weekdays at 6am on ITV.
