Javascript : push is not a function for array?

$(function(){
    $('body').on('click', '.queue', function(event) {
        var video = $(this).closest('.video');
        console.log(video);
        var queue = localStorage.getItem('queue');
        if (! queue ) {
            queue = [];
        }
        queue.push(video);
        localStorage.setItem('queue', queue);
        console.log(localStorage.getItem('queue'));
        bootstrap_alert.success('queued!');
    });
});

when I try to test this, I get the error on console saying

TypeError: queue.push is not a function 

queue.push(video);

What is that I am doing wrong here?

var queue = localStorage.getItem('queue');

localStorage doesn't store (or return) arrays. Therefore, queue is not an array.
