Holly and Phil ‘ushered disabled woman away to dodge Queen queue’ after ‘being left OFF official guest list’
HOLLY Willoughby and Phillip Schofield have been accused of "ushering a disabled woman away" as they "dodged" the queue to see the Queen lying-in-state - after being left OFF the official guest list.
The family of a woman in a wheelchair claim she was "moved aside to make way for the pair" as they arrived at Westminster Hall last week.
An insider explained: "When they got there, their names weren't on the list so there were some discussions and – after some back and forth – Phil and Holly were given access and they were ushered through. The whole thing caused a bit of a hoo-ha."
Mia snapped a picture of ITV stars Holly and Phil as they rushed past, ranting on Twitter: "This is a photo taken by my sister's husband yesterday after he had queued with my sister, their ten-year-old daughter and my disabled mum for 13+ hours.

"My mum was ushered out of @hollywills and @schofe way so they could #queuejumpers without even a thanks #schofieldgate #queuejumping."
The Tweet, which was shared widely online, has since been deleted.
Another witness added: "There was no film crew at the time they walked past us. They were headed towards a side entrance.
"The lad in front of us started a conversation with them as they went past. Holly removed her mask for a picture."
An ITV spokesman said: "Phillip and Holly had full accreditation which was organised by the This Morning production team. Any claims otherwise are untrue."
