Susanna Reid jumps to Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield's defence after queue dig

Susanna Reid defended Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield amid false accusations they jumped the queue to see the Queen.

The pair were filming a segment for ITV's This Morning of the Queen's lying in state and were attending as members of the press, meaning they did not have to join the queue, which stretched to a 24 hour wait at one point. However, them being allowed to enter the Hall for the lying in state this way sparked huge backlash from ITV viewers, who claimed it was unfair.

Susanna, meanwhile, queued seven hours to see the monarch with her elderly mother, and as Mel B appeared on Good Morning Britain today, she asked the presenter what the experience was like for her.
