Domino's has waded into Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield's 'queue jump' row with a very obvious dig on social media. The pizza delivery company jumped on the bandwagon after This Morning viewers were left outraged by the show's attempts to explain why the presenters were spotted in Westminster Hall last week.
The ITV daytime show's hosting duo were accused of 'jumping the queue' to see the Queen lying in state on Friday (September 16). Phillip, 60, was seen in a smart black suit and tie for the visit, with the presenter sporting a sombre look on his face as he followed behind his co-star.
Holly, 41, appeared in front of her friend and colleague and at one point was seen looking back with tears appearing to fill her eyes. The mum-of-three looked elegant in a black dress with silver button detailing along the front. She tied her long blonde locks back with a black scrunchie and wore a matching black mask.

But their appearance inside Westminster Hall quickly caused backlash after hundreds of thousands of people queued for up to 14 hours to pay their final respects to Queen Elizabeth II following her death on September 8, aged 96, at Balmoral. This Morning hit back at the claims over the weekend.
In a statement on the programme’s Instagram account, a message read: "Hello everyone, we would like to clarify something. 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."
