Eamonn Holmes claims 'ITV's' Holly and Phillip queue-gate excuse was 'a lie'
Eamonn Holmes has accused ITV's Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby of lying about last year's queue-gate scandal, in which the pair faced backlash after skipping the queue at the late Queen Elizabeth's lying-in-state. Once it emerged that the pair had skipped the queue, in which some people had waited over 17 hours, ITV released a statement clarifying they were there in a professional capacity with "press accreditation", insisting: "They did not file past The Queen's coffin", adding: "Any allegations of improper behaviour are categorically untrue." Now during an interview with GB News's Dan Wotton, former This Morning presenter Eamonn has accused ITV of lying as he asked: "Have you seen the film?" To which Dan answered: "There was no film." Eamonn continued: "Well apparently they were there to make that, that's the official line given by the editor of the programme.They were there to make a film.
