Kim Woodburn in brutal attack on ‘high and mighty’ Holly and Phil after scandal
TV loudmouth Kim Woodburn has launched a scathing attack on This Morning’s Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield, demanding they be sacked following their 'queue-gate' saga.
The Celebrity Big Brother star, 80, rehashed the drama, which saw the pair accused of queue jumping at Westminster Hall to pay their respects to Her Majesty, while tens of thousands of mourners patiently waited for hours.

Kim told Gogglebox hosts Joe, 25, and George, 25: "They were not, were not asked to cover the Queen's funeral.
"They sneaked in and they put these press things they got, they sneaked in because they wouldn't stand in a queue, they are far too high and mighty. It is true.
"Don't listen to another word they say. They were not contracted, they were not allowed to film, nobody was, so they did sneak in.
"They should have lost their job."
Kim appeared on TalkTV in September to slam the presenters, calling them “selfish” and “entitled”.
Speaking alongside broadcaster Jeni Barnett, and BGT finalist, Francine Lewis, the furious star said: "Their self-serving publicity stunt came back to bite them on the bum, didn’t it? I’m appalled by them.
"There were many people in that queue, people with wheelchairs and walking sticks. And Holly and Phillip think because they are on TV they can flout the rules.
"They’re telling lies and they’ve been caught. They’re cocky, they’re self-assured and they are disliked intensely.”
She went to reiterate her desire to see them sack, before dubbing them “idiots.”
"They should be fired and the crew would say, “Yippee.” We’ve had enough of these two idiots. They won’t be missed," Kim fumed.
The presenters – who are reportedly paid as much as £600,000 for hosting the popular daytime show from Mondays to Thursdays- were reportedly “devastated” byt the accusations.
Holly was reportedly in floods of tears as she and Phil both begged This Morning bosses to defend them.
But Kim isn't the only one to have spoken out against Holly and Phil – as Eammon Holmes also hit out at his former co-hosts.
Speaking on GB News Breakfast, Eamonn, 62, made no bones about the fact he didn't believe his former colleagues, blasting: “They didn't get a fast-track, they say. Lie. They say they didn't pay their respects to the body. Lie. What else were they there for? Let's just tell the truth about the whole thing.”
