One user wrote: “Thanks for the spoiler Dan Wootton.”
Another posted: “@reallorraine Did @danwootton just give away an Avengers spoiler by saying Tom Hiddleston has 3 minutes screen time?! Loki died in Avengers Infinity War, and I haven't seen End Game yet! #Lorraine.”
A third fumed: “Just heard an #EndGame spoiler on a morning breakfast show of all places. F*** it anyway #Lorraine.”
