Phillip Schofield refuses to apologise as he breaks silence on queuegate scandal

Phillip Schofield has addressed the queue-gate scandal and insisted he was "unfairly targeted" after the incident.

The This Morning presenter, 60, and co-star Holly Willoughby sparked furious backlash after the pair appeared to "skip" the 14-hour queue to see the Queen lying-in-state.

Shortly after the scandal emerged, a petition was made to remove the presenters from fronting This Morning which surpassed a whopping 100,000 signatures from the outraged public.

ITV then released a statement, assuring the TV duo were there in a "professional capacity" and were filming for an episode of This Morning that was broadcast a few days later.
