ITV This Morning in 'crisis talks' after Queen 'queue skipping' row
A forthcoming segment of ITV This Morning is on the balance as bosses at the TV station discuss pulling the episode entirely following massive backlash.
But, the explanation did very little to appease an angry mob on Twitter, leading to the presenters being trolled. Some viewers took to social media to say they would be boycotting the show when it returns tomorrow, while others have supported the pair following the unfair treatment. An ITV source told the Mirror : "This Morning are at a crossroads over if they run Holly and Phil's segment from the abbey - there have been a lot of discussions about how to air the footage especially with the horrific backlash.
The statement from This Morning, which was released on the show's Instagram page, said: "Hello everyone, we would like to clarify something. We asked Phillip and Holly to be part of a film for this Tuesday’s programme.
