This Morning has spoken out in defence of its two main presenters Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield after they have come under heavy criticism for 'jumping the queue' to see the Queen lying in state.

The hosting duo were seen filing past Queen Elizabeth II's coffin on Friday (September 16). The previous day, while hosting the ITV daytime show, the pair confirmed they would not be on air on Friday and return on Tuesday (September 20) where they would reflect on the Queen's state funeral.

As the show would usually air, at around 10am, Holly, 41, and Phillip, 60 were spotted in Westminster Hall. Their appearance came as hundred of thousands of people joined the queue to pay their final respects to the Queen with well-wishers waiting anything from a few to 24 hours to pay their respects to the late monarch.

Holly and Phil made their way into the historic building to view the late monarch's coffin which is being seen by the public 24//7 until early Monday morning before her state funeral.
