Petition for ThisMorning's Phil and Holly to be axed over 'queue jumping' row hits 25,000 in a day
A petition calling for ITV This Morning presenters Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield to be sacked after they were accused of 'jumping' the 13-hour queues to see the Queen's coffin lying-in-state has hit 25,000 signatures in a day.
The pair denied jumping the queue to see the Queen lying in state after days of criticism. Laura responded: "I expect an on air apology will come judging by the statement that went out, and to rebuild their public reputation. But I won't be watching. I only wish their loyal fans would do the same." Reports Birmingham Live.
Holly Willoughby released a statement in response to the backlash the pair have received, she said: "Like hundreds of accredited broadcasters and journalists we were given official permission to access the hall. It was strictly for the purpose of reporting on the event for millions of people in the UK who have not been able to visit Westminster in person.
