This Morning's Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield join Blackout Tuesday protest after death of George Floyd

This Morning co-hosts Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield have joined a “blackout” in protest against the death of George Floyd in the United States.

At 11am the ITV daytime show went dark, showing a black screen with the words “Black Lives Matter” in white lettering.

The death of Mr Floyd has triggered widespread protests across the US after footage showed a white police officer continuing to kneel on his neck during an arrest, even after he pleaded he could not breathe.
