Mel B takes savage swipe at Philp Schofield and Holly Willoughby over Queen queue jumping row

Mel B is the latest person to take a swipe at This Morning presenters Phillp Schofield and Holly Willoughby over claims they jumped a queue at Westminster Hall last week, where the Queen was lying in state.

The Spice Girl was invited on to ITV's Good Morning Britain on Tuesday to discuss a letter she received from Her Majesty just a few months ago, after she was award a MBE for her work with Women's Aid.

Sporty Spice also recalled a time when she broke Royal protocol and kissed Prince Charles, now King Charles, on the cheek.

Speaking about her letter, she told show hosts Susanna Reid and Ben Shephard: "When I received this letter, I was looking at it and was trying to make everything everything sink in.

"And then after her passing, I just keep touching it.

"This is just such an honour, it makes me well up thinking about it. I was in that little red box of things she had to sign."

Mel B then went on to ask Susanna, who joined thousands of members of the public in an seven-hour queue to get a glimpse of Queen Elizabeth II, what it was like.

Susanna replied: "It felt like a pilgrimage. It was an honour to be with all the other people in the queue."

"'No queue jumping for you", Mel B replied.

This Morning were forced to issue a statement over the weekend after both Phil and Holly received abuse on social media.

Show bosses confirmed the pair were working at Westminster Hall at the time and were not in the queue to walk by the Queen.
