Holly Willoughby has dipped her toes into acting with a blink-and-you\u2019ll miss it cameo on Midsomer Murders and fans aren\u2019t impressed.<\/p>\n
The This Morning star, 42, appeared as the \u2018Queen of Daytime\u2019 in a mystic mystery on the popular ITV drama, which she said she \u2018loved\u2019 taking part in.<\/p>\n
Fans were speculating what her \u2018dream come true\u2019 role would be, with some suggesting she might even be the victim or the murderer.<\/p>\n
With such build-up and the episode being filmed two years ago, her small cameo in the episode The Witches of Angel\u2019s Rise\u00a0left fans wanting more.<\/p>\n
Holly can be seen sitting on a throne as the guest of honour at a psychic convention as the show aired on Sunday (August 27).<\/p>\n
DS Winter announced: \u2018It\u2019s the Queen of Daytime\u2019, with his partner quickly responding: \u2018Gloria Hunniford?\u2019 <\/p>\n

Unfortunately for Holly, her first-ever acting stint has not gone down well with fans who accused the show of \u2018forced\u2019 dialogue.<\/p>\n
\u2018How much did Holly Willoughby get paid for appearing for 2 seconds \ud83e\udd14\ud83e\udd37\ud83c\udffc\u200d\u2640\ufe0f\ud83e\udd26\ud83c\udffc\u200d\u2640\ufe0f #MidsomerMurders?!?!\u2019, said one viewer.<\/p>\n
Another took a swipe at the Queen of Daytime title and said: \u2018Ah yes, top quality realistic not-at-all-forced dialogue there ITV.\u2019<\/p>\n
A third joked: \u2018How much did Holly Willoughby pay the #MidsomerMurders writers to get that line in \ud83d\ude02.\u2019<\/p>\n
\u2018Is that the Queen of Daytime? As if anyone would say that,\u2019 dismissed someone else.<\/p>\n
Others were simply unimpressed by how little she seemed to be in the show, expecting a much larger part for the presenter.<\/p>\n

One asked if \u2018that\u2019s it\u2019 after her first appearance, which just saw her perched on a throne at a distance.<\/p>\n
Later in the episode, Holly reappeared ready to say her lines.<\/p>\n
Well line<\/em>, singular, which was an exciting: \u2018Excuse me.\u2019<\/p>\n This only added to viewers\u2019 outrage, as one said Holly did \u2018sod-all\u2019, while another ranted: \u2018So a walking part and spoke no more than two words.\u2019<\/p>\n Some fans were more supportive, with one viewer saying: \u2018\u201cIs that the Queen of Daytime?\u201d Yes. Yes it is! \ud83d\ude0d.\u2019<\/p>\n Holly herself had been honest and called it a \u2018blink and you\u2019ll miss it\u2019 appearance in her promotion on Instagram as she shared a behind-the-scenes sneaky peak.<\/p>\n Catch up with Midsomer Murders on ITVX.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n Got a story?<\/strong><\/p>\n If you\u2019ve got a celebrity story, video or pictures get in touch with the Metro.co.uk entertainment team by emailing us celebtips@metro.co.uk, calling 020 3615 2145 or by visiting our Submit Stuff page \u2013 we\u2019d love to hear from you.<\/p>\n
