Phillip Schofield awkwardly quizzed about Queen 'queue gate' after winning NTA

ok.co.uk:

Hot on the heels of This Morning ’s victory at this year’s National Television Awards, Phillip Schofield was caught dodging questions about his queue-gate scandal in the press room following the win.

The 60 year old TV presenter found himself in hot water last month alongside co-star Holly Willoughby, after they were accused of jumping the queue to see The Queen as she was lying-in-state ahead of her funeral.

Although the pair have always denied the claims, it didn’t stop tens of thousands of viewers calling for the duo to be sacked, with lingering animosity regarding the scandal very nearly threatening to take the shine off the show’s hard won victory on Thursday evening.

Even during their acceptance speech, members of the audience could be heard booing, but it was Phillip’s determination to dodge the question outright at the winner’s press conference that raised more than a few eyebrows.
