To be impressed that Holly and Phil queued to see the Queen

I saw on the news today that they both paid their respects. I know MPs got tickets to jump the queue which is fair enough given how busy they are running the country, but obviously run of the mills celebrities don't get that sort of treatment. We haven't seen many celebrities actually pay tribute given they wouldn't want to queue so long, so I was quite touched to see the picture of them walking through. True British gems.

They didn’t queue. They jumped the queue for “this morning”.

David Beckham queued.

You don't see that this is a career move for them? 😂

Sorry, but true.

Why are you impressed that two rich celebs went to a little room to wait (in much higher comfort than others) to do a photo op? What’s impressive to you about that? Are you really easily impressed or have you just not seen much genuinely impressive stuff?

This!

Took them a while to come up with this and to be honest I think this makes it worse as its clearly 'bending the truth'!

That statement doesn't even make sense. They did file past?

OneFrenchEgg · 17/09/2022 22:10

Where is it though? Not on their Twitter or Facebook accounts for This Morning

Womencanlift · 17/09/2022 22:18

It’s in the This Morning’s Instagram story

I’m sure they were seen weren’t they!

Yes - all over Twitter #queuejumpers! So they did 'file past' - what a weird statement.

Thank you - didn't check Insta

Beckham chasing that Knighthood.

It ain't happening mate. No matter how long you queue!

😂😂

But they did file past to pay their respects.

This statement just makes everything worse

Picoloangel · 18/09/2022 07:28

I agree this makes it worse. It’s a lie and a demonstrable one which is so insulting to our intelligence. At this point, unless one of them defecates on live TV I think we’re stuck with them.

QuebecBagnet · 18/09/2022 07:45

I’m not sure what the set up for the “press room” is. Because in the photos where they’re walking through the hall (filing past the coffin) there are some people going in the opposite direction. Phil and Holly look like they’ve maybe just come down some steps and the people in the opposite direction look like they’re about to go up some. So do you have to walk through the hall to get to the press room? So in their minds maybe they weren’t filing past. I’m not sure if this is the case and if it is I don’t know why there needs to be a press room over looking the hall? Does it have a window like a viewing gallery? Seems a bit mawkish. 🤷‍♀️

mrsnjw · 18/09/2022 08:41

This really kicking off all over social media! I would love for Ant, Dec and Steve M to join the queue today just to run salt in to the wounds.
I vote Ruth and Rylan. They are great on This Morning. I think Holly and Phil have had a good run and need to move over for someone else now before they need to be pushed.

HansZimmerframe · 18/09/2022 08:44

Best one yet 😂 twitter.com/pipmadeley/status/1571138036049780736

And yes to the poster below - I can just imagine any celeb with a bit of recent bad press joining the queue now to boost their rankings 😆

SpringIntoChaos · 18/09/2022 09:07

Bless you OP 🤣 At least you've stuck to your story, despite all the evidence to disprove it! That's dedication...I salute you 👌🏻

🤣🤣🤣

Things were much simpler last time round.

Thank you for posting this! Fascinating.

I too noticed that it didn't make sense.

It's annoyIng because it will be all about them, especially Schofield who looks for self-importance in everything.

Murdoch1949 · 18/09/2022 19:42

They didn't queue, as you well know, their crap TV programme said they didn't queue. Also said they didn't actually walk past the coffin. That I find weird for that pair of poseurs.

GreySeat · 18/09/2022 22:43

DonnaBanana · 16/09/2022 13:37

People say all sorts online to be fair!

Can’t believe the OP posted 2 posts replying she thought it was a conspiracy and they did queue 😂
@DonnaBanana I hope with all the press coverage you now realise you were wrong and it’s not a conspiracy

vroom321 · 18/09/2022 23:06

Who will be watching/ recording Tuesdays This Morning just to see what they have to say? 😂

I would rather wait and watch the clips that will appear on you tube and other social media. Wouldn’t want to give them extra ratings as they will then think that they are popular and it’s another reason to keep them
