Furious This Morning viewers brand Spin To Win a ‘fix’ as caller says ‘hello’ BEFORE the password – but still wins

THIS Morning viewers branded Spin To Win a fix today as a caller said "hello" BEFORE the password – but still won a cash prize.

Presenters Dermot O'Leary and Alison Hammond were in a generous mood – allowing a caller to play despite her breaking the game's only rule.

The pair gave in to Patricia after a few false starts, with two prior callers failing to say the password.

On the third ring Patricia picked up, and following a silent pause she mumbled "hello".

She quickly realised her error and said "Gordon's alive" which was the correct phrase.

With time running out, the presenters were uncertain what to do.

Alison said: "Ooh shall we give it to her? She did say Gordon's alive!"

And Patricia shouted louder: "Gordon's Alive!" as Dermot said: "Oh hello you...but only cause we're about to fall off air!"

Patricia ended up winning one of the lower cash prizes of £800 – but viewers felt she didn't deserve a penny of it.

One even dug out the game's rules on This Morning's website and said: "Just going to leave this here"

Another couldn't get over the incident as they tweeted afterwards: "Can we stop chattin s**t about cold wine and discuss why Patricia thinks it’s ok to say hello and win 800 quid #thismorning"

Another viewer fumed: "She said hello first?! Eff you Patricia!"

One more said they were taking their complaint to the telly watchdog Ofcom.

The commented: "annoyed this has happened for a second week - wrong phrase last week, hello said this week and accepted.

"I will be complaining to ofcom on this, hopefully something done about it."
