Quite independently of the Goldstone phenomenon, recent lattice data suggest the existence of gap-less modes in the spontaneously broken phase of a $\lambda \Phi^4$ theory. This result is a direct consequence of the quantum nature of the `Higgs condensate' that cannot be treated as a purely classical c-number field.
