Woman who created Phil and Holly 'queuegate' petition begs for it 'to come to an end'

The woman who created a petition to get Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield axed from This Morning has begged for 'queuegate' to "come to an end".

The Change.org petition has now been signed by more than 76,000 people and was launched in response to the ITV presenters being hit with waves of criticism. They were accused of jumping the queue to see the Queen lying in state, however ITV bosses defended them as they said they were actually working at the time.

The online petition, created by Laura Harrison, claimed that Holly and Phil were “given privileges that deprived others” as thousands waited in the queue to pay their respects for up to 24 hours. But now she has given an update on the page to say that she "wants positivity, not hostility and negativity."
