Everyone in the country is screwing about how high their energy bills are going to be in a couple of months after the energy cap is lifted, but thankfully ‘This Morning’ are now offering to pay them as a prize for one of their conception. That’s so lucky for us all.

Anyway, the segment was reminiscent of something out of ‘Black Mirror’ or ‘Robocop’ as Philip Schofield spoke to a contestant at home over the phone as he spun a giant wheel with ‘Energy Bills’ and a few other different prizes labelled on it. It really did have the feel of a futuristic satire on how terrible society could become – the only problem was that it was actual reality.

Have a look at the clip below and see what you think. Needless to say, people on Twitter weren’t too happy about it all:

#ThisMorning has turned completely dystopian and Black Mirror by offering to pay energy bills as a competition prize. pic.twitter.com/hs1DD6NXbo

If this doesn’t perfectly showcase what a dire state this country is in. Tv shows like #ThisMorning are now having to help us pay energy bills, that’s what 12 years of tories has given us. pic.twitter.com/nAyYzxHiDP

‘This Morning’ in the UK offering a competition prize of paying for energy bills.

If that wasn’t dystopian enough, the music in the background is…pic.twitter.com/Vgj9em2AP8

Fucking state of this country when one of the prizes on the This Morning Spin the Wheel is energy paid for 4 months.

I get that they’re trying to be helpful, and that’s great.
But people shouldn’t have to hope they’re lucky enough to win their energy costs.

This has to be one of the most disgusting things I’ve seen on British television. Peoples lives reduced to a gameshow spectacle on @thismorning its like The Hunger Games. How much lower could @itv get? pic.twitter.com/WcN7SwnB5I

Grim isn’t it? Wish I could find it funny but it’s just too depressing and another indicator of just how crappy this winter is going to be for a lot of people out there. It’s only going to get worse.

For more of the same, check out the cast list for season 6 of Black Mirror. Maybe that will cheer us up when it finally drops.
