Producers are worried amid claims they sneaked in to the Queen’s lying-in-state, hopping the queue[/caption]

But producers are worried they will be heckled at the Wembley Arena ceremony on October 13 amid claims they sneaked in to the Queen’s lying-in-state.

A source said: “They could be booed walking down the red carpet or even on stage. It’s a major concern.”

A petition calling for ITV to sack them has more than 65,000 signatures.

The pair have not commented to camera about the scandal to avoid being mocked online.

In a voice-over on Tuesday’s show, Holly denied queue-jumping.

A source said it would’ve been “disrespectful” for them to address it in a segment about the Queen.

They added: “They want this abuse to die down.”
