HOLLY Willoughby and Phillip Schofield were missing from This Morning today after a week of furious backlash from fans.
Over the last few days Holly, 41, has called in lawyers and been left in tears over claims she and Phillip, 60, skipped the queue to “file past the Queen lying in state,” while others waited for hours.
Holly and Phil were absent from Friday’s This Morning
Instead Dermot and Alison were back
On Friday’s show Alison Hammond and Dermot O’Leary took over as usual which no doubt came as a welcome break for Holly and Phil.
Mum-of-three Holly is said to have been beside herself over the backlash she has received since visiting the Queen lying in state on Friday.
Members of the public were left furious as the TV hosts appeared to skip the long line, after some of them waited for up to 14 hours.
Holly called in lawyers and a source said: “She’s utterly devastated. It’s been an incredibly tough few days.”

Holly Willoughby breaks her silence after This Morning 'queue-gate' fury
On Tuesday’s show the two hosts addressed claims they were “too posh to queue” but stopped short of an apology.
Holly said: “It was strictly for reporting on the event for millions not able to visit in person.”
Last night an online petition for This Morning to axe them topped 50,000 signatures.
The row has seen a number of famous faces wade in, including Eamonn Holmes and Kim Woodburn.
The pair have also been mocked by a number of big name brands such as Dominos and The London Dungeon.
