Susanna likened the queue to a “pilgrimage” as Mel B interjected: “No queue jumping for you!”
The morning host was discussing the Queen with guest Mel B, who received a letter from the Queen after receiving an MBE for her work with Women’s Aid.
The former Spice Girl spoke of her respect Susanna, who queued for more than seven hours to see the Queen lying in state, before dropping a reference to the furore around the This Morning presenters.“My gosh, I have so much respect for you. I did anyway but even more so now. What was that like?”In response the GMB presenter appeared to defend the This Morning hosts as she said: “Well,“I was there with my mum who wanted to be there and her friend and it was lovely.
"The rules were that we would be quickly escorted through an entrance and not file passed the coffin."We of course respected their views. Please know that we would never jump a queue."The This Morning presenters have received criticism from some on social media after they appeared inside Westminster Hall on Friday without having taken part in the public queue.a segment due to air during Tuesday’s show.
They said: “Hello everyone, we would like to clarify something. We asked Phillip and Holly to be part of a film for this Tuesday’s programme. “They did not jump the queue, have VIP access or file past the Queen lying in state – but instead were there in a professional capacity as part of the world’s media to report on the event.”
