Holly Willoughby in social media return after silence since 'queue jump' saga

manchestereveningnews.co.uk:

Holly Willoughby has made a brief return to social media for the first time since she became embroiled in the now infamous 'queue jump' row.

The presenter has been under fire alongside her This Morning co-host Phillip Schofield since last Friday when they were seen in Westminster Hall during the Queen lying in state.

The ITV daytime show's main hosting duo were alleged to have skipped past the thousands queuing after they were spotted inside the venue during the four day period of Queen Elizabeth II's coffin was able to be visited before her state funeral earlier this week.

Holly, 41, looked emotional as she tied her long blonde locks back with a black scrunchie and wore a matching black mask. Phillip was seen walking behind her in a smart black suit and tie for the visit, with the presenter sporting a sombre look on his face.
