A petition to axe Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield from This Morning after they were accused of "jumping the queue" to see the Queen Lying-in-State has reached over 9,000 signatures. Holly, 41, and Phillip, 60, could be seen lining up in Westminster Hall to pay their respects to the late monarch on Friday, however, their 'media passes' meant that they were fast-tracked ahead of thousands of others who had queued for up to 24 hours. The controversy has generated a huge backlash, especially after other celebrities such as David Beckham and GMB's Susanna Reid queued for over seven hours amongst members of the public.
One person tweeted: "Phil and Holly of ITV who went straight to the front. Beyond disgusting, sack both of them, think they are above everyone else." For all of the latest updates, sign up for OK!'s Royal newsletter. Another said: "I hate cancel culture but I’ll make an exception.
Sack Phil and Holly." There are over 9,000 signatures on a petition on change.org to get the longtime This Morning presenters axed from their roles on the much-loved daytime show. In the petition blurb, the creator claims Holly and Phillip have "monopolised" TV screens for "way too long". ITV leapt to Holly and Phil's defence after they drew criticism, by posting a statement on the This Morning Instagram over the weekend.
It 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.” Their colleague Alice Beer was also fast-tracked to pay her respects to the Queen
