Although Joel seemed to put on a beaming display and get comfy in Lorraine’s armchair, some viewers weren’t so convinced. Joel was met with a range of segments, from interviewing superstar Lulu to discussing how to reduce risk of stroke.
However, viewers were quick to point out exactly what they didn’t like about the programme – Joel.
One fumed: “Joel Dommett just has the wrong tone of voice to be a presenter. Everything just sounds monotone. I never thought I would actually prefer actual Lorraine presenting!”

Another said: “The lengths this woman will go to not to host her own show by employing the insufferable Joel Dommett.”
A third wrote: “Joel Dommett: the instantly forgettable nonentity ITV call when Stephen Mulhern’s phone goes straight to voicemail.”
Some viewers were pleased to see Joel though and even shared their praise. One chimed in: “Just loving @joeldommett on @lorraine this morning, please can you do it full time when she is off.”
