ITV This Morning's Vanessa Feltz breaks down in tears during Queen's funeral broadcast after suffering personal loss and baby joy

Phillip Schofield has been left feeling rather touched after receiving an anonymous present and letter in the post and took to social media to thank the person for their kindness.

Phillip Schofield has shared his gratitude as he was sent an anonymous letter and gift. The This Morning host was clearly bowled over as he took to Instagram to show off the surprise present which was sent to him without any indication who it was from.

Phillip Schofield isn't known for his social media presence but the presenter has broken his Instagram silence for the first time since facing backlash alongside his co-star and close friend Holly Willoughby. The This Morning stars were accused of jumping the public queue to see the Queen lying in state.

K.J. Yossman ITV chief executive Carolyn McCall defended the network’s morning show anchors Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby over allegations that they skipped a five-mile long queue to see Queen Elizabeth II lying in state two weeks ago. Ever since Schofield and Willoughby, who host “This Morning” were seen on the live-feed of the lying-in-state, walking through Westminster Hall via the VIP line, the duo have been the subject of much criticism, particularly on social media. A petition titled ‘Axe Philip Schofield and Holly Willoughby from TV’ has amassed over 75,000 signatures. Speaking at the Royal Television Society (RTS) annual convention in London on Tuesday afternoon, McCall defended Schofield and Willoughby and said that ITV had even contacted Domino’s Pizza U.K. to complain about a light-hearted tweet the pizza company had posted poking fun at the controversy.

There are said to be 'serious concerns' for the wellbeing of This Morning hosts Holly Willoughby and Philip Schofield as controversy continues over their visit to Westminster Hall where the Queen lay in state.

Fans of This Morning have continued to share their feelings about Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield's 'queue jump' saga. It is almost a week since the hosting duo were seen inside Westminster Hall where the Queen was lying in state.

As the controversy rages on about This Morning's segment filmed at Westminster Hall where the Queen was lying in state, fans think Holly Willoughby has been "up all night crying".

Viewers have expressed concern for Holly Willoughby as she returned to This Morning. The presenter was back at the helm of the ITV daytime show on Wednesday (September 21) alongside co-host Phillip Schofield.

Holly Willoughby was forced to step in during a fiery debate between Vanessa Feltz and Matthew Wright on Wednesday's This Morning. During the latest instalment, Vanessa, 60, and Matthew, 57, discussed current news, including reports of a slimmed down monarchy and coronation.

This Morning's Holly Willoughby and Phillp Scofield say they went to see the Queen laying in state for everyone who "couldn't go".

Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield have explained what happened when they were spotted inside Westminster Hall while the Queen was lying in state. The duo have been hosting special episodes of This Morning following the death of Queen Elizabeth II, paying tribute by sharing viewers' memories and chatting to those who knew or had met the late monarch.

Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield returned to This Morning for the first time since they were embroiled in a 'queue jump' row. The pair were last seen on the ITV daytime show on Thursday (September 15) after the programme was cancelled on Friday for coverage of the King's first trip to Wales.

K.J. Yossman “This Morning” anchors Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby addressed accusations they “queue-jumped” the 5-mile long line to visit Queen Elizabeth II lying in state last week. In a pre-recorded segment at the opening of the show on Tuesday morning, the duo took viewers through a montage of events that took place since the Queen’s death on Sept. 8, from the news breaking to her lying-in-state in Westminster Hall last week. Alongside footage of Schofield and Willoughby outside Westminster Hall, where they spoke to members of the public who had queued to see the Queen, Willoughby said in a voice-over: “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 U.K. who haven’t been able to visit Westminster in person.”

Queen Elizabeth II was laid to rest on Monday 19 September following a moving State Funeral at Westminster Abbey. Her Majesty’s final resting place was St George’s Chapel in Windsor Castle where her body was reunited with her beloved husband, Prince Philip in a private ceremony featuring just the Royal Family.

Eamonn Holmes drew shock and laughter as he took an opportunity to make a dig at former This Morning co-stars Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield. Since the Queen's death was announced on September 8, the veteran presenter has been hosting his GB News show from outside Buckingham Palace.

On September 8, 2022, Queen Elizabeth II died “peacefully” at age 96 and Britain entered 10 days of mourning to honor her 70 years of service as the head of the monarchy. The details of her funeral raise the question as to where the Queen will be buried, and it’s a location steeped in royal history dating back to 1475.

Queen Elizabeth II will be laid to rest in the first state funeral in 57 years today, Monday, September 19. The Queen died peacefully at Balmoral, her Scottish Highlands home, on September 8.

The Prince Harry and Meghan Markle drama continued into the weekend as it wasn’t clear if the Sussexes would be attending a pre-funeral reception at Buckingham Palace on the eve of Queen Elizabeth II’s funeral.  The Duke and Duchess of Sussex – who settled in California after stepping down as senior royals in 2020 – reportedly initially received an invitation to the Sunday evening reception, but conflicting reports said they were and weren’t expected to attend.  According to the Telegraph, they have now been uninvited because palace officials insisted that the reception hosted by King Charles III and Camilla, the queen consort, is only for working royals, which Harry and Meghan are not. Yahoo New UK reported, however, that despite the reception originally only being for working members of the royal family, an exception was made and the Sussexes are expected to attend.  Prince Harry and Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, leave Westminster Hall, London after the coffin of Queen Elizabeth II was brought to the hall to lie in state ahead of her funeral on Monday on September 14, 2022 in London, England.  (Photo Danny Lawson - WPA Pool/Getty Images)) The "King and Queen Consort, accompanied by members of the royal family" plan to welcome hundreds of world leaders and royals from other countries, the palace said on Friday.
