We Buy Any Car has now dropped Phillip Schofield from their Facebook page amid accusations he skipped the queue to see the Queen lying-in-state with This Morning co-host Holly Willoughby.
Phillip Schofield, 60, has been the brand ambassador for We Buy Any Car since 2019, regularly appearing in adverts and challenges.
But We Buy Any Car’s Facebook page, which has over 30,000 likes, has now dropped the previously much-loved presenter from its cover photo.
Instead the car-buying service has used a stock image of a happy family alongside the company’s logo.
Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby have come under fire over allegations that they skipped queues to see the Queen lying-in-state at Westminster Hall.

They were pictured inside Westminster walking alongside an area that was not the media box.
Previously Phillip Schofield featured in the Facebook cover photo for We Buy Any Car until it was updated on September 22.
The image can still be seen further down the page and on the website.
One page of the car company’s website reads: ‘At Webuyanycar, we live by one simple rule: be more like Phillip Schofield.’
As brand ambassador, the TV presenter has taken part in 30-second challenges, gone on a bouncy castle, and driven around in small cars – even appearing in an air bag for one advert.
The enormous queue from 14 to 19 September peaked at a 25-hour wait over five miles and saw around 250,000 people pay their respects to the monarch.
Phillip and Holly appeared to skip the queue on Friday, September 16.

Since the allegations more than 66,000 people have called on the duo to be sacked from their presenting gig.
The allegations have hit especially hard after other celebrities – such as David Beckham – were pictured queuing for up to 13 hours.
Phil and Holly are reportedly paid as much as £600,000 for presenting the daytime show from Mondays to Thursdays

On Wednesday fans expressed concern for Holly, as she appeared on the show looking like she had been ‘crying all night’.
On Thursday Holly returned to social media for the first time since the scandal to congratulate her friend and This Morning fashion presenter Lisa Snowdon for winning celebrity MasterChef.
Last week ITV bosses issued a statement denying that Phil and Holly had jumped the queue.

The post said: ‘Hello everyone, we would like to clarify something.
‘We asked Phillip and Holly to be part of a film for this Tuesday’s programme.
‘They did not jump the queue, have VIP access or file past the Queen lying in state – but instead were there in a professional capacity as part of the world’s media to report on the event.’
Facebook users were quick to comment on the cover photo, saying: ‘Did he push in front of this poor woman too? Outrageous!’
Another said: ‘We jump any queue.’
