Cat Deeley stepped in as This Morning host this week and he or she’s already given us all of the feels with some SMTV: Live nostalgia.
The beloved TV star was fronting Monday’s episode alongside Rylan Clark and the duo introduced again Wonkey Donkey as an additional bonus throughout Spin To Win, and it was each bit was chaotic as we remembered.
After caller Peter managed to get by means of Spin To Win with an £800 prize, he had yet one more recreation to play earlier than he secured the coveted bag of shizzle.
‘Today, in honour of my co-host Cat Deeley, I thought there’s just one approach to win the shizzle,’ Rylan informed viewers. ‘For the first time in 20 years… let’s play Wonkey Donkey!’
It was all the things we wished and extra, full with the old college theme, brand, digicam angles and extra.
‘SMTV Live made this game a family favourite on Saturday mornings across the nation. Today, it is back! So Peter, listen very carefully. Stay on the line. Cat, remind everyone of the rules,’ he added.
‘Now, this wasn’t truly my bit, however I’m gonna go along with it,’ she teased, in a pleasant nod to her former co-hosts Ant and Dec.
‘It’s quite simple. We’re gonna present you a stuffed animal – for instance, proper right here I’ve a donkey, he’s lacking a leg, so what’s he? He’s a Wonkey Donkey! Darn proper he’s!’
Of course, crucial rule remains to be ‘it’s acquired to rhyme’, however poor Peter appeared to battle as Cat introduced out a cuddly toy monkey with shades, a fur coat and sparkly guitar.
At first, the baffled caller simply repeated the phrases ‘Wonkey Donkey’, and even Cat’s clue that ‘he likes some phat beats’ solely acquired Peter so far as ‘guitar monkey’, till an exasperated Rylan reminded him it needed to rhyme.
Eventually they needed to inform him to say Funky Monkey, which acquired him the prize – and viewers are hoping the sport is right here to remain for the remainder of the week.
One fan backed Cat and Rylan to grow to be the brand new This Morning duo, writing: ‘Love to see Wonkey Donkey back! Please keep it, it’s hilarious! Also please preserve these 2, they’re nice collectively! #thismorning @catdeeley @Rylan’
‘Ofc they played wonky donkey on TM😅,’ laughed one other viewer, whereas a 3rd person added: ‘@Rylan obsessed with wonkey donkey!! 🙌🏼😂 so happy it’s again once more tomorrow 🤩🙌🏼 xxx’
‘Cat Deeley is brilliant and I’m glad to see Wonkey Donkey #thismorning,’ another person identified, as one more fan tweeted: ‘I love the fact that #ThisMorning have brought back Wonkey Donkey!! 😂😂 #SMTVLive’
One heathen claimed the section was ‘awful’ and wished folks to ditch it’, however fortunately others have way more sense.
‘I love the fact that #ThisMorning have brought back Wonkey Donkey!! 😂😂 #SMTVLive,’ a fan wrote, with one other advised: ‘Should replace spin to win to wonkey donkey #thismorning’
