QUEUE gate has led to some of the 70,000 Brits who signed a petition calling for Phil and Holly to be sacked calling for the National Television Awards to hold a live re-vote on the Best Daytime Show, Politicalite can reveal.
This Morning – which has won the ‘Best Daytime Show’ category every year since 2011, will see the disgraced daytime duo Holly and Phil appear at the later-than-planned National Television Awards that air live on ITV at 8pm on Thursday, October 13.
Yesterday, The Sun revealed that ITV bosses feared that Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield “may be booed at the annual telly bash.
A source told the paper: “They could be booed walking down the red carpet or even on stage. It’s a major concern.”
Now some of the 70,000 fans calling for the National Television Awards to hold a live revote on the Best Daytime Show category on the night of the awards ceremony due to take place at London’s O2 arena.
A petition calling for ITV to sack the queue-jumping duo has now been signed by a whopping 73,575 people.
