Phillip and Holly 'queue jump' allegations shut down by This Morning as show issues statement

This Morning have shut down accusations against presenters Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby that they 'jumped the queue' to see the Queen's coffin.

The Queen is currently lying in state at Westminster Hall ahead of her funeral on Monday, with people queuing up for close to a full day to file past her coffin. Famous faces have been among those who've been in the historic London building, including Good Morning Britain host Susanna Reid and David Beckham.

However, Phillip and Holly were clocked by viewers watching the BBC's lying in state live stream in a different queue, sparking allegations that they'd 'pushed in' and got in ahead of those who'd lined up day and night for the opportunity to pay their respects. Photos of the presenting pair, with Holly wearing a face mask, went viral on social media and many people who saw them vented their anger.
