Eamonn Holmes has replied to a tweet that says Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby 'should be sacked' amid the 'queue jump' row.
Claims have been made that the This Morning presenters 'skipped the queue' at the Queen's lying-in-state while others queued for hours.
Holly and Phil have denied the claims.

North Belfast man Eamonn has liked a tweet of a meme of himself and Ruth Langsford laughing, with the words "When you reach the front of the queue".
The user who posted the image said: "I always preferred @EamonnHolmes and @RuthieeL #ThisMorning."
The presenter replied: "Ha ha.... Nice one."
Another user said: "There [they] should be sacked Eamonn and Ruth are far better..."
The 62-year-old replied with a series of praying hand emojis.
While speaking on This Morning to deny the claims, Holly said: "Like hundreds of accredited broadcasters and journalists, we were given official permission to access the hall.
"It was strictly for the purpose of reporting on the event for millions of people in the UK who haven't been able to visit Westminster in person.
"The rules were that we would be quickly escorted around the edges to a platform at the back. In contrast, those paying respects walked along a carpeted area beside the coffin and were given time to pause.
"None of the broadcasters and journalists there took anyone's place in the queue and no one filed past the Queen.
"We of course respected those rules, however we realise that it may have looked like something else, and therefore totally understand the reaction.
"Please know that we would never jump a queue."
