This Morning viewers flooded social media with comments as they declared it looked 'nothing like' the two hosts. One fan didn't mince their words, asking: 'Who the f**k are they?' A second joked: 'The resemblance really is uncanny.' 'Sand sculpting is very clever but that looked nothing like Ben & Cat,' said a third viewer. A fourth fumed: 'Well, why didn't we see a real sand sculpture being made with tips how we could do it? What a waste of time watching Colston make a bloody sandcastle.'

I was driving my son and had my baby in the back when I had double vision. I could see two buses in front of me. 'Then I had really bad vertigo, felt dizzy. I couldn't open my eye, I thought I was going to go blind. I went for a CT scan at hospital, which came back alright. I was treated with antibiotics for meningitis.' Ben, 50, and Cat, 48, then introduced Nicola, Lyndsey and Kayleigh to the show to speak about their own horror stories.
