Petition to axe Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby from TV reaches 36,000 signatures

A petition calling for Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby to be sacked from This Morning has reached more than 36,000 signatures in just four days in the wake of their queue jumping saga.

The ITV presenters were subjected to intense bullying online after they were falsely accused of skipping the queue to see the late Queen lying in state. 41-year-old Holly and 60-year-old Phillip explained that, as members of the press, they did not have to join the queue as they were reporting on the events.

The pair addressed the backlash they have faced on their daytime show and assured people they "would never jump the queue".
