Graham Norton says Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield 'did nothing wrong' amid queue row

Graham Norton has become the latest celebrity to weigh in on the ‘queue-jumping’ accusations surrounding Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield .

The ITV ’s This Morning duo became the centre of a row after they were spotted waiting to see the Queen lying-in-state in a separate queue to members of the public. Many accused the pair of ‘pushing in’ while thousands of others, including famous faces such as David Beckham and Susanna Reid, queued for several hours to see the late monarch’s coffin.

Holly and Phillip shut down the accusations themselves as they appeared on This Morning last week , with Holly saying that they would ‘never jump a queue’. In a segment showing their time at Westminster Hall, Holly said: “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 UK who hadn't been able to visit Westminster in person.
