This Morning debuted their first ever Sunday episode with Ruth Langsford and Eamonn Holmes taking the reins.

During the hour-long installment, the husband and wife were joined by chef John Torode and discussed what happened after Matt and Luke Goss’s fight backstage in the show’s dressing room, as well as Gino D’Acampo’s best bits.

But one standout moment that had tongues wagging on social media, was when Ruth decided to make a brew by pouring milk into her mug first.

Yep, a true British scandal according to outraged viewers.

Eagle-eyed viewers were shocked to see the 58-year-old host breaking tradition from the typical teabag, then hot water, and then milk method, and they wasted no time in calling her out on Twitter.



‘Noooooo Ruth puts milk in her tea first! What have I just witnessed! It’s tea first then milk surely?’ one cried.

But some are firmly Team Ruth and have defended her actions on Twitter, saying: ‘Yes I’m like Ruth with the tea about putting the milk in first as I like my tea strong.’

Yes I’m like @RuthieeL with the tea about putting the milk in first as I like my tea strong. @thismorning #ThisMorning — Kerry (@KerryMcCaw) January 20, 2019

I always do that! Never have any complaints — Ashley Gardner (@ashley1413) January 20, 2019

Feels like the big scone debate all over again, doesn’t it?

Elsewhere on the show, John made a delicious roast beef with Yorkshire puddings meal, while revealing how he popped the question to former EastEnders star Lisa Faulkner on Christmas Day.

This Morning airs weekdays and Sundays at 10.30am on ITV.
