This Morning viewers slam ‘pointless’ A-level results ‘exploding coke’ segment

This Morning viewers weren't impressed on Thursday morning when Andi Peters and Rochelle Humes discussed A-Level results day.

Slamming a demonstration for being "pointless", fans were far from enjoying the segment about exam results that saw a bottle of coke exploding in the studio.

Talking about how teenagers up and down the country will be opening their results today, Andi had some words of advice for students.

He said: "The good lesson in life, most brown envelopes contain bad news.

"So if you get the results you want in a brown envelope, it's getting you ready for real life."

Rochelle then introduced clinical psychologist Dr Julie Smith, who appeared on the show to ease the nerves of the students around the country who will be opening their results today.

Holding a bottle of coke, Dr Julie said that A-Level results day is "full of lots of emotions".

She added: "When you work for two years on something, and building up to your exams, it's a bit like doing this to your stress response."

As she spoke, she began vigorously shaking the bottle of coke, before opening it in a clear plastic box.

The bottle of coke fizzed up and then exploded everywhere, with Dr Julie explaining that it demonstrated emotions on exam results day.

But viewers at home weren't impressed by what they saw, with many taking to social media to criticise the segment.

"Good grief we are that dumb we need a visual aid to understand stress! Jesus Christ!! #thismorning," penned one viewer on Twitter.

Another added: "The coke thing was utterly pointless. #dumb #ThisMorning."

A third then slammed: "Using a bottle of coke to demonstrate the release of anxiety when talking about teenage boys probably need a little bit more thought #ThisMorning."

While a fourth said: "The coke thing was unnecessary #ThisMorning," and a fifth echoed: "Was that really necessary #ThisMorning."

"How about our anxiety having to endure more exam nonsense? #ThisMorning," asked a sixth.

This Morning airs weekdays at 10am on ITV and ITVHub.
