Graham Norton labels Holly and Phil 'foolish' amid queue jump claims

The Holly and Phil backlash continues. Graham Norton has responded to the ongoing controversy surrounding the TV presenters' alleged 'queue jump' during the Queen's Lying in State at Westminster Hall.

Norton, 59, has said Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby were "foolish" to think they wouldn't receive a backlash. The ITV This Morning hosts were given media accreditation to film the occasion for the morning show like other broadcasters. However, many were angry after pictures later emerged.

Graham Norton has now said he was offered to skip the regular queue by an MP, but refused to do so as he feared backlash, reported the Express. The popular host claimed there was a two-tier system for the occasion and not just one queue for everybody.
