Absolute backlash on Twitter as it emerges that Holly & Phill queue jumped to see the queen at her lying in state. Lots of comparisons to Beckham and memes about we skip any queues.

The This Morning office has put out a statement saying they are attending in their capacity as broadcasters.AIBU to hope that this is the end of shrieky Holly and slimey twat Phil?

Yes it is. It would only take a couple of weeks of viewers dropping off for the heads of itv to take the hint, especially with this backlash.

They clearly aren't that bad if you can't handle a few weeks of not watching them.

Well maybe they couldn't get the time off work to stand in a queue 20 hours? Maybe they'd more bloody sense?

So they shouldnt have gone then

Quite function + comment isnt working then 🙄

Yes but were they actually working in that hall? Did they need to walk through the hall? Were they oblivious of the queue?

Presumably they were there because they were doing a segment about the lying in state thing. Why else would they be there? The media arrangements are in place because the public want to see bits about it in the the news, on daytime tv, and so on. They weren’t there in a personal capacity.

seriously. It’s like complaining that sports commentators don’t have to buy tickets and get a better view than you did.

happinessischocolate · 18/09/2022 12:22

Even if they had queued I think it's distasteful. Holly should have gone with her husband, Phil with someone else.

Their USP is their stupid giggly relationship and the idea of the two of them queuing to see the coffin is off, and I'm not even a royalist.

But they weren’t there in a personal capacity. They were there as Holly and Phil doing this morning.

you know the other people working in that hall didn’t queue either, don’t you?

Why was Beckham dressed like an extra from Peaky Blinders though?

been and done it. · 18/09/2022 12:32

lemmein · 17/09/2022 23:29

I bet Beckham didn't know there was a 'fast-track' route Grin

From what I read he was offered it but declined

SudocremOnEverything · 18/09/2022 12:32

According to the This Morning production team they were there to film something for Tuesday’s This Morning.

Frankly, the producers are probably wishing they’d decided to make that segment ‘holly and Phil wait for 18 hours overnight to see the coffin’ rather than whatever they actually got them to do. Because it seems most of the British public are idiots who want to watch tv about these things and still complain that special arrangements were made to facilitate making such tv.

Singleandproud · 18/09/2022 12:36

I don't like the idea of Pay-per-View but my dad suggested they should have had a quick access door with payment of £25000 to skip the queue and then that money could have gone to the food banks or similar charities and I bet there are plenty of celebrities and we'll off people that would have paid it too.

someone posted a link to this up thread. But maybe people need an image.

If Schofield can survive Snapchatting teenage boys in the early hours, giving teenagers he fancies jobs on This Morning and having an affair with a 19 year old he met when he was just 11 years old, he can survive this.

Remember when he printed out a list of names of alleged paedophiles he found on the internet? He handed them to David Cameron and the names could be seen. He should have been sacked then. Instead, they made Ruth Langsford apologise on his behalf.

Willoughby once reported her car stolen to the police. It turned up in her husband's office car park. Anyone seen that time she was on The One Show and was absolutely sackless?

They'll survive because they know where the bodies are buried. Schofield is a time bomb, and it's only a matter of time before it's over for him.

As Adam Hills said

There's apparently a sub-set people out there who adore the royal family but don't like it when rich, privileged people get special treatment."

🤣 The only intelligent take!

i think that’s his look now. 😬

ArseMenagerie · 18/09/2022 12:56

They can’t film in the chamber though - they would have had to use the bbc livestream bank cameras. So it would only have been a kind of ‘research’ to actually see the room and stand looking at the queue. Which they could have done with a livestream. But perhaps they filmed a segment outside?
my guess is that they went in as ‘press’ because they could - not realising the real story was the queue outside. They didn’t read the mood of the nation or the real story correctly because they (and their producers at ITV) are daytime TV segment makers. Because they are not actual journalists.
They are attracting SO much vitriol as they have betrayed an inflated view of themselves as posh, sleek, journalists that stand where princes stand which is at odds with the ‘ordinary/girl next door’ image. People don’t like being fooled.

AgentJohnson · 18/09/2022 12:58

This is really the biggest news story at the moment.

It really isn’t and it really shouldn’t be either.

NowThatsWhatICall22 · 18/09/2022 13:02

Crikey, are people actually still talking about this? It happened, it’s done. Media/zeleb access before the peasants is a normal arrangement, happens all the time at all kinds of events.

It’s streaming live anyway, so anyone watching that is having access to exactly the same viewing, without queuing, ffs. Anyone want to kick off about that?

ArseMenagerie · 18/09/2022 13:08

I bet others who did it are absolutely sweating. It’s so hilariously British for the mornings trending conversation to be about queue jumping 😂

itsnotmeitisactuallyyou · 18/09/2022 13:11

Lots of people saying Holly is fake and a mean girl,i dont see how she can be such a good actress on her show portraying such a golden girl next door image,please can someone give examples of her mean girl attributes and fakeness, i genuinely want to know as i must be very naive to be taken in by her image portrayed on tv,i am having doubts now because of the que jumping

Thing is though they didn't have to follow directions from the person in charge of the show. They could have taken personal responsibility for what THEY did. Phil and Holly are responsible for themselves and I'm pretty sure can tell the person in charge what they think. These two manage their profiles so well and it is at the top of everything they do so please don't pretend otherwise. You sound as if you're writing their PR and are using the 'person in charge of the show' as their excuse.

Do you think they should have resigned or got sacked for refusing to follow directions? Not sure many people would, not like they were being asked to murder someone.

This! 👌

The papers had only really got into 2nd gear re; PS and the runner he’d been seeing, when Covid struck and took over the news. Had Covid not have happened, I doubt PS would be on our screens now. I think the shit would well and truly have hit the fan and lots more ‘incidents’ would have come tumbling out of his broom cupboard. I think I’m right in saying the runner was paid off, so we never really heard his story. Agree with the poster above….he’s a ticking time bomb. Watch this space…

Whattimedoyoucallthisthen · 18/09/2022 13:52

@Snoozer11 100%!!

I think there’s a lot of very unsavoury things involving P.S and yes, Holly on The one show…bizarre…lots of stories of how scarily mean she is.
But what do you think the secrets they have about others are?

hookiewookie29 · 18/09/2022 14:33

Ar least they turned up.....thousands of other celebs haven't gone and no one is slating them....
