Holly Willoughby sends message of support to fellow ITV star

Holly Willoughby has issued a message of support to a fellow ITV star on social media.

The presenter has faced backlash after she was spotted with Phillip Schofield in Westminster Hall at Queen Elizabeth II's lying-in-state. This Morning issued a statement to defend the hosts over claims they skipped the queue to pay their respects to the former monarch.

The statement insisted they were there in a "professional capacity" and Holly later said they would never take anyone's place in the queue. Holly has since been noticeably quieter on Instagram as the "queue jump" row continues to be a major talking point.

However, the 41-year-old took to the social media platform on Saturday to wish an ITV co-star well. Loose Women panelist Kaye Adams is taking part in the new series of Strictly Come Dancing.

And Holly is clearly rooting for her friend. Sharing a screengrab of Kaye's first Strictly dance, Holly said: "G'wan Kaye Adams. This emoji was made for you [woman dancing emoji]".

Kaye opened up about participating in the programme to her fellow Loose Women hosts during Thursday's show. The 59-year-old said she was nervous, adding: "Can you tell I'm hyper? I'm totally hyper. I feel hysterical.”

Kaye admitted she is struggling with the "sexy" part of dancing, before panelist Judi Love showed her how it is done. Judi issued a supportive message as she said: "You'll learn so much more about yourself physically, emotionally and mentally.”
