This Morning's Holly Willoughby has posted on her own social media for the first time since the "Queuegate" row.
The presenter is usually active on social media but she has been quiet after a backlash over Holly and co-star Phillip Scofield allegedly "jumping the queue" for the Queen's lying in state - in claims which have been strongly denied by show bosses. Apart from hosting This Morning and comments on others' social media including a message to Lisa Snowdon, fans of the star haven't heard a peep from Holly in exactly two weeks.
But she was back posting her regular fashion updates ahead of hosting today's show. Sharing a snap of herself in today's outfit on Instagram, the caption said: "Morning Monday… see you at 10am on @thismorning Today we’re joined by everyone’s favourite love story Harry Redknapp and his beautiful Sandra… #hwstyle skirt and knitwear by @cefinnstudio."

Holly was bombarded with comments from fans who wished her well and thanked her for finally returning to Instagram. One follower said: "I missed these posts! Looking lovely. I hope you’re doing ok. Another added: "You look beautiful. Keep your chin up, the world's gone mad."
The This Morning presenters came in for scrutiny after they both appeared to skip the line for the Queen's lying in state.
Celebrities, television personalities and sporting stars were all spotted in the queue, including David Beckham who waited for 12 hours to pay his respects. After Holly and Phil were spotted not having to wait, This Morning issued a statement following intense backlash.
Their full statement said: "As 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 the platform at the back.
"Those paying respects moved along a carpeted area alongside 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 it may have looked like something else and completely understand the reaction.
"Please know that we would never jump the queue."
