“We are thrilled to announce the Jigwe’s, staying consistent with our tradition of creating experiences and ideas that helps us to enhance the fun and excitement “This Morning” is known for and end the year with a bang. Last year we brought to viewers a hilarious re-enactment of the Christmas story, this year, we are adding the Jigwe’s and we intend to have lot of fun with it. This year as well, we intend to dedicate our end of year episodes to our cherished viewers for staying faithful to us throughout the year and helping us win two awards at the television awards.
