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?

Srah Vine gets a whole column saying how she jumped The Queue but praising DB to the heavens—having your cake and eating it.

I read an article a while ago about how he and his agent daughter(s) have all the "talent" on itv on their books and essentially control who gets the itv jobs. Anything itv and they effectively chose who gets the gig. Get on the wrong side of them and you're history. My understanding is that's how they are still so fawned over by the itv bosses.

They'll probably have to refilm the segment.

It'll all be about how they're feeling, how honoured they are to be able to do this. How the atmosphere makes them feel etc.

Which if there hadnt been a backlash would have been sucked up by their viewers.

Now they're probably editing it as much as possible so it does piss off people further

Yikes, the comments on her Instagram…

lollipoprainbow · 18/09/2022 09:45

The idea of them being journalists is laughable both a couple of jumped up ex kids presenters who got lucky.

I’m not a particular fan of holly & Phil but really backlash because they didn’t queue for 12 hours really ? ,
sorry but if your the kind of person who wants to say horrible things about someone just because they didn’t queue quite frankly what is wrong with you ? . They didn’t queue big deal but some comments on social media are vile and is much much worse than going in a shorter queue that was offered to them . They did nothing wrong but bad mouthing someone with hated is wrong .

Whattimedoyoucallthisthen · 18/09/2022 09:56

Why have Philip’s comments been turned off but Holly’s haven’t?

vera99 · 18/09/2022 09:56

@gettingolderandgrumpier well said it's an ugly lynch mob almost as bad at that directed at the Queen when she wouldn't lower the flag for Diana lest we forget.

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."

There's a big difference between our royal family and bloody phil and holly!

The oddest thing about Beckham is that he was on his own. No sons, family or friends wanted to go with him?!

This was exactly what I thought! Whatever his reasons for doing it though well done for queuing.

Alarm59 · 18/09/2022 10:25

I don’t understand why ITV think so highly of them when the public doesn’t.

WimbyAce · 18/09/2022 10:27

Can't stand Holly and Phil. I think Holly gets most jobs due to her husband as he works for ITV. Can't understand how Phil has protected his squeaky clean image despite all the revelations. By all accounts both of them are quite difficult people and full of self importance. Always wondered what happened to Holly's close friendship with Fearne Cotton, seemed to end abruptly!

Bouledeneige · 18/09/2022 10:27

Brits are very very serious about queues and queue jumpers are the worst. Everyone getting a lovely dose of schadenfreude - it would be great to see them ditched by ITV.

He was with his sister Joanne

Yes! The British hate queue jumpers as it just isn't British. I don't think H and P took into account the respect a lot of their fan base have for either The Queen or a good and decent well mannered and well organised queue.

When Liz Truss gets back to work (I know it's a tall order) top of her in-tray should be a Prime Ministerial Statement on the terrible two. Maybe they should be exiled to a cabin at Centre Parcs for a week with no room service and folk could queue up to see them imprisoned in their lodge. I'd queue up for that but no more than 4 hours though.

This really made me laugh! 😂

Viviennemary · 18/09/2022 10:44

Can't stand either of them. So would be glad to see the back of them.

SudocremOnEverything · 18/09/2022 10:44

I can’t help but think that the type of people aghast at some tv presenters not having queued in order to present their televised segment about this are the same people aghast that teachers don’t pay for their places on school trips.

UnshakenNeedsStirring · 18/09/2022 10:46

You wish OP. They will laugh and giggle , make a joke of it and the fuckwit people who watch them will lap it up

Beckham doing whatever it takes to get that Knighthood!

Completely, he would do anything to get one. Unfortunately we can’t forget his tax avoiding schemes and leaked emails slagging off Katherine Jenkins.

Violashift · 18/09/2022 10:56

The cognitive dissonance over the whole thing is astounding.

But what’s wrong with wanting a knighthood? Is that a character flaw?

Yes it is

ILikeHotWaterBottles · 18/09/2022 11:06

Very easy way to get rid of them. Stop watching their programme.

Viewer numbers drop and things get changed because they can't stand viewer numbers dropping. Vote with your tv remote essentially.
