I think everything just needs a tidy up. They've changed everything so much since the start. Graphics need sorting to look less unbalanced, desk needs changing to allow 3 presenters to sit there without it looking strange and 4 to sit there without looking squashed. Bring back Sean in my opinion, ITV seem to have a thing with hiring a sports presenter when they change their breakfast shows and then taking their role away after a few months. Also they went from a very serious theme tune to a very light one, they need to sort the balance.

She was back at the end of last week.

Are ITV really allowed to take the same competition and make it look different across 3 weeks? First Andi Peters, then Christopher Biggins and now back to Peters. I know the prizes are the same, but a different presenter and location makes it look like a different competition. Additionally, Lorraine are running the same competition, but are using different presenters.

There must be a fair few people entering twice or even three times at £2 a text!

I know that This Morning repeats their competitions.

For example, I've seen a competition of a holiday and car on Week 1 (closing date, 1 month away), a competition of £50k on Week 2, but the competition on Week 3 is the same as Week 1 but normally is a different person explaining it. And so on, it just does this all the time I think.

I'm sure they must be allowed... given the furore around competitions a few years ago I doubt they'd risk doing anything that wasn't legal.

Is the device in her hand to trigger graphics or to control the autocue?

I think this is an alternative to having the foot pedal for the autocue.

Also, the ticker changed slightly this morning and went displayed the ITV News section with the headlines, then the Contact Us section, then a special your messages section scrolled with a lightish blue background with snow flakes either side (It's a bit hard to explain)

Unfortunately it doesn't show much but the last few seconds show what PATV is referring to with the ticker changes:
