Holly Willoughby sends 'we love you' message to ITV This Morning viewers after recent backlash

manchestereveningnews.co.uk:

Holly Willoughby has sent a clear message to viewers of This Morning despite facing backlash in recent weeks. The presenter and her co-host Phillip Schofield came under fire last month when they were accused of 'queue jumping' to see the Queen lying in state.

Following the death of Queen Elizabeth II, the hosting duo returned to the ITV daytime show for a series of special shows paying tribute to the late monarch.

Days before her state funeral, on September 19, hundreds of thousands of people queued for miles, and for hours, across London in order to file past the Queen's coffin as she was lying in state in Westminster Hall.

On September 16, Holly and Phillip were spotted inside the historic venue on the same day David Beckham was seen queuing for 12 hours with members of the public to pay his final respects to the Queen, who died aged 96 in Balmoral.
