This Morning’s Dermot O’Leary has claimed that he’ll “never work” with one particular company in mock outrage after being snubbed in their list of presenters with the most soothing voices.

Celebrating World Sleep Day, presenter Alison Hammond read out a list of presenters with the most soothing voices on the show, sharing how Josie Gibson was at number 28.

Reading out the rest of the list, contributor Tom Swarbrick said: “At number 12 on the soothing voice list, This Morning’s very own Cat Deeley. A West Midlands lilt. At number nine, Alison Hammond.”

Alison said: “I didn’t know that I was that soothing.”

Tom added: “Silver spot is reserved for our very own, dearly beloved, Ben Shephard everybody.”

As everyone waited with baited breath for Dermot, Tom revealed that it was actually Ken Bruce at number one – with Dermot not making the list.

“Which bunch of jokers commissioned this?” he said in mock outraged.

“Pukka Herbs! I’ll never been doing any work for Pukka Herbs. Pukka Pies if you’re on the line, give me a call. They’ve put together a list of soothing voices. I do Saturday morning radio!”

Earlier today, Vanessa Feltz announced that she would be quitting This Morning after 33 years on the show. The 63-year-old has regularly appeared as a contributor on the ITV series but will be leaving the show to host her own Channel 5 series.

Vanessa told the Daily Star newspaper: “I’ve been on This Morning since 1992. It’s been a long time . But I’m now doing my own show and I can’t do both.”

She added: “When I told everyone I wouldn’t be able to do the show anymore, they were lovely about it. I heard from Alison Hammond and Holly Willoughby immediately and the bosses were charming. I’ll miss working with them all.”

She said: “I have learned lots of stuff on This Morning. When I first did it, I had never been on TV before. I didn’t know what was going on. I was bamboozled but they gave me a contract.” And Vanessa “couldn’t be more excited” about her new talk show. She gushed: “This is a fantastic opportunity and I couldn’t be more excited. It feels marvellous.”

Earlier this week, fans of This Morning were left fuming when the show was cut off air for ITV’s Cheltenham Festival coverage. “Wait what happened to this morning? And why is the news on?” one fan said.
