Queen's 'frail' health caused major change in Jubilee Paddington Bear sketch

Eamonn Holmes has accused ITV's Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby of lying about last year's queue-gate scandal, in which the pair faced backlash after skipping the queue at the late Queen Elizabeth's lying-in-state.

Now during an interview with GB News's Dan Wotton, former This Morning presenter Eamonn has accused ITV of lying as he asked: "Have you seen the film?" To which Dan answered: "There was no film." Eamonn continued: "Well apparently they were there to make that, that's the official line given by the editor of the programme.They were there to make a film.
