This Morning viewers spot tension between Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield after 'queue' remark

This Morning viewers took to social media after noticing Holly Willoughby look "unhappy" after Phillip Schofield made an accidental 'queue' remark. During Thursday's (January 26) instalment, the presenters were joined by actors Rupert Grint and Ben Aldridge who were live in the studio to talk about their new thriller, Knock At The Cabin.

The new mystery-horror sees former Harry Potter star Rupert take on the role of Redmond while Ben, who is known for roles in Pennyworth, Fleabag and Our Girl, takes on the role of Andrew in the film, which sees a girl and her parents taken hostage by armed strangers while on vacation.

Wrapping up the chat about the new flick, Phillip said: "Listen guys, it's lovely to see you. Thank you for coming on," before adding: "Holly will be straight at the front of the queue. Looking red-faced, Holly replied: "I'll be there... under a pillow."

Viewers couldn't help but refer back to the pair's queue scandal which rocked them both last September, following the death of the Queen. Taking to social media, one person penned: "You just know Holly will be tearing a strip off Phil during the break for that queue comment." Echoing their comments, someone else said: "Holly will be straight at the front of the queue, Phil? Of course! Dropped a right clanger there..." While a third quipped: "'Holly will be straight at the front of the queue' Course she will Phil, with you there by her side."

Following the death of Queen Elizabeth II, people complained in their droves and launched a petition to have the pair removed from the show after they were accused of 'pushing in' to see Her Majesty lying in state. But ITV bosses were quick to deny those reports and said they were actually working at the time.

Phillip and Holly were seen inside Westminster Hall, where Queen Elizabeth II's coffin was placed for four days before her state funeral, with hundreds of thousands of people queuing for miles across London in order to pay their final respects.

This Morning quickly hit back at the claims that their presenters skipped the queue, which at its peak reached a 14-hour wait for those wanting to pay their final respects to the monarch following her death on September 8, aged 96.
