Should This Morning's Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield be sacked as petition reaches 60,000 signatures?
This Morning hosts Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield continue to face backlash after being accused of jumping the queue to see the Queen lying in state at Westminster hall last week.
The change.org petition has now got just over 60,000 signatures, and should it reach 75,000 it will become one of the top signed petitions on the website. “The rules were that we would be quickly escorted around the edges to a platform at the back. In contrast, those paying respect walked along a carpeted area beside the coffin and were given time to pause.
ITV bosses have also supported the pair. This Morning previously addressed the visit in a statement posted on Instagram on Saturday, saying: “We asked Phillip and Holly to be part of a film for this Tuesday’s programme. They did not jump the queue, have VIP access or file past the Queen lying in state – but instead were there in a professional capacity as part of the world’s media to report on the event.
