Piers Morgan defends This Morning's Holly and Phil over 'ridiculous' backlash
Piers Morgan has branded criticism faced by Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield as “ridiculous” in light of the This Morning hosts facing backlash for appearing to jump the queue to visit the Queen’s Lying-in-State.The pair were spotted paying their respects to the late monarch last week at Windsor Hall where they donned press passes around their necks, sparking people to believe it gave them priority access while others waited hours on end to see the Queen’s coffin. People have now criticised them, and even gone as far as creating a petition to have the hosting duo axed from ITV’s This Morning. Piers Morgan has since spoken out in Holly and Phil’s defence however, calling the backlash they’re facing “ridiculous”.
