This Morning hosts Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby came in for a lot of criticism when they visited Westminster Hall to see the Queen lying in state. Although he addressed the situation on This Morning at the time Phillip has again responded to questioning, saying: "Why would I apologise?"
In a clip aired on Dan Wootton's Tonight programme, Phillip was asked: "Do you feel vindicated?’" to which the 60-year-old replied: "I think that it was a shame that what happened, happened." He was also asked by GB News if he would now own the situation and issue an apology.
"Why would I apologise?" he asked before adding: "You’ve already seen that 700 other journalists did exactly the same thing." Phillip also said that they were not allowed to film inside which is why no footage from their visit was ever shown, as The Manchester Evening news reports.
When previously talking about the situation on This Morning, Holly explained: "None of the broadcasters and journalists there took anyone's place in the queue and no one filed passed the Queen. We, of course, respected those rules, however, we realise that it may have looked like something else and therefore totally understand the reaction."
As a result of his comments Phillip was trending on Twitter.
