Yahoo Finance This Morning fans take issue with Kelly Hoppen's Christmas baubles segment
This Morning caused a stir on Twitter today (November 24) thanks to its Christmas decorations segment.
Presented by former Dragon's Den panellist Kelly Hoppen, this part of the show featured a 'masterclass' on sprucing up Christmas trees and festive dinner tables, but one particular aspect seemed to rile up a large portion of those tuning in.
Promoting a range of baubles from various companies, Kelly revealed that they'll cost customers between £1 and... £40!

Understandably, those using social media pointed out the enormity of the prices, while also questioning whether now was the right time to be pushing the expensive fare, given the economic issues caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.
"Loads of us have lost our jobs and they're thinking we are paying £40 for a bauble," tweeted one viewer, while another shared: "When will they realise that people are on their knees atm and haven't got that sort of money?"
"£40 for a xmas tree bauble, what world do you live in, certainly not the real one," added someone else.
£40 for a chuffing bauble? #ThisMorning
