This Morning Viewers Criticize Trisha Goddard’s Appearance: ‘I Can’t Warm to Her’

Published on June 19, 2025

Trisha Goddard was back on daytime TV this week but not everyone was thrilled to see her. The 67-year-old made an appearance on This Morning on Wednesday’s episode (June 17), joining hosts Cat Deeley and Ben Shephard alongside fellow guest Tom Swarbrick to discuss the latest news headlines. But while the panel gave their views on the stories of the day, it was Trisha’s delivery that left a fair few viewers grumbling.

Trisha, who’s had a long and varied media career and recently returned to the spotlight on Celebrity Big Brother, has also been open with the public about her ongoing cancer battle. Her honesty has drawn praise in many circles, but today’s TV appearance struck a nerve with some of the audience, reported Entertainment Daily.

It didn’t take long before social media lit up with criticism, particularly aimed at her tone and the way she presented her opinions. One viewer wrote on X: “Why does Trisha always talk with an ‘I AM TALKING NOW AND YOU WILL LISTEN TO ME! BECAUSE I AM ALWAYS RIGHT’ kind of tone?” That sentiment was echoed by others, with someone else asking: “Why do they keep on inviting Trisha back to the news review FGS!”

Comments continued to roll in. “Oh dear, they have Trisha ‘only my opinion is the right one’ Goddard on the show,” one viewer complained. Another added, “Trisha is so condescending,” while someone else simply said, “I really can’t warm to her.”

It seems some fans weren’t in the mood for her strong delivery. “Oh please don’t let Trisha Goddard on again,” another viewer pleaded.

Despite the online criticism, it’s unlikely Trisha will be losing sleep over the backlash. In fact, judging by her recent social media posts, she’s made it very clear that other people’s opinions are low on her list of concerns these days.

In a video posted to Instagram earlier this month, Trisha was seen enjoying a holiday in Venice, and her caption gave some insight into her mindset. “One of the ‘gifts’ this whole cancer malarkey has given me is a perfect excuse not to sweat the small stuff and not to live life being restricted in what I want to do purely because of the fear of what other people may think of me,” she wrote.

“For one thing, they probably really couldn’t give too much of a [bleep] because they be busy stressing with their own stuff!” she continued. “And if they do, remember, it’s because they’re displaying their own issues and poor mental health! We only have one Life. Live it.”

So while the Twitter crowd may have had their say, Trisha is clearly keeping her focus on living her life on her own terms. Whatever your view of her on-screen presence, she’s not planning on fading into the background anytime soon.
