ITV worry Holly Willoughby may leave This Morning amid Queuegate backlash

• Holly Willoughby may leave the This Morning show.
• Holly was “devastated” by the Queuegate backlash.
• A “bumper package” is being developed to maintain her.

ITV executives worry that Holly Willoughby would leave This Morning because she believes the “Queuegate backlash was mishandled.”

At Queen Elizabeth’s state funeral, Holly Willoughby and her co-host Philip Schofield faced criticism for having VIP access and cutting the line.

According to a recent story, the television personality, 42, was “devastated” by the response from the public and ITV’s “choice to remain silent.”

The Mirror claims that ITV is lacking the “assurance” they once have over Holly’s contract, which expires in December.

A “bumper package” is being developed by the network to maintain Holly as a co-host for This Morning.

A source told the publication, “The Queuegate backlash was absolutely devastating for Holly, but what made matters worse was the feeling it was mishandled.”

“ITV’s decision to remain silent before finally issuing a statement was frustrating, as it felt like they were shutting the door after the horse had bolted.”

“Bosses know last year was incredibly hard for her and as such, they are not approaching her contract negotiations with the same confidence as they have previously.”
