Holly Willoughby cuts a very sombre in figure in shades as she takes a stroll following ‘queuegate’

Holly Willoughby looked dejected as she took an early morning walk in London on Friday.

The TV personality, 41, shielded her eyes behind shades and all sat on a park bench for a moment of quiet reflection after a difficult few weeks.

The usually popular TV presenter caused a stir when she and her co-host of This Morning, Phillip Schofield, 60, were accused of skipping the line to see the Queen in state.

The blonde beauty wore black workout clothes with leggings and a matching fleece.

Holly paired the look with a black waterproof jacket and slipped her feet into a pair of Nike sneakers.

When she sat down, the Dancing On Ice host was wearing earphones and staring at her iPhone.

It’s been a rough time for Holly, who has trolled after ‘queue’.

The weeks-long fallout from the incident — which spawned hundreds of jokes online at their expense — has sparked rival briefing wars, with relations between the presenters now strained.

Holly is also believed to be unhappy that ITV didn’t step in to support her sooner, and there has been speculation – since denied – that she could be leaving the show.

After being spotted on the official camera feed at the venue, the pair said they were there to shoot a segment for This Morning’s show, which was set to air four days later.

Holly and Phil have not commented on the matter since they issued a statement insisting they “didn’t skip the line.”

Despite calls for the firing of Holly and Phil could lead to Alison and Dermot being given the role of full-time hosts, sources say they have remained loyal.

Phil and Holly are reportedly being paid a whopping £600,000 to host the show during the daytime Monday to Thursday, with Alison and Dermot filling in for Friday’s show.

Insiders this morning think they are now ‘through the worst of the crisis’ but ITV bosses are still taking steps to ensure Phil and Holly get all the support they need.
