People are flocking to social media in confusion after hearing a different theme tune on This Morning.
The ITV chat show has undergone several changes in recent weeks in the wake of Phillip Schofield admitting to an affair with a younger colleague, before stepping down from his position on This Morning and finally leaving the network completely.
Since Schofield's departure, host Holly Willoughby has returned to ITV's screens, instead joined by Dermot O'Leary.

And as if that wasn't enough changes, This Morning viewers were left baffled after hearing a different theme tune ring out on their televisions today (Monday, 12 June).
Instead of the typical chat show's theme tune, viewers turned on their screens earlier today to find themselves listening to a funkier version than they're used to.
The new theme tune was revealed as having been remixed by fashion consultant, TV presenter and DJ Gok Wan.
Willoughby and O'Leary introduced the tune with Wan appearing on the show via video link.
O'Leary jokes: "That's it now, those are the titles of This Morning forever and ever and ever."
"Imagine!" Holly responded.
O'Leary continued: "No, we gave them a little remix done by Gok, by his very own hand, who is in sunny Ibiza all morning."
While new This Morning host O'Leary told Wan he 'love[s] what [the DJ's] done with' the tune - Willoughby chiming in support too - not all viewers were convinced.
Viewers have flooded to Twitter to question the new tune.
One user wrote: "WTAF is This Mornings new theme tune #thismorning #why."
"Ah new title music. I thought my TV was on the blink!" another added.
Others referred to the controversy which has enshrouded ITV since Schofield left, as well as the accusations which have been thrown around, such as fellow broadcaster, Eamonn Holmes, branding the network a 'den of iniquity' and claiming Schofield is 'not the only guilty party'.
A tweet reads: "Change the theme tune all you want @thismorning, that still doesn't change the fact that you had the likes of Phillip Schofield and Fred Talbot and your payroll."
And another viewer resolved: "It's gonna take more than a new theme tune to change the show #ThisMorning."
Thankfully for viewers who weren't convinced by the remixed tune, O'Leary and Willoughby's jokey comments makes it seem like it could just be a one-off.
A spokesperson from ITV confirmed to Tyla Wan's remixed version was a one-off and will not replace the original This Morning theme tune.
