Alison Hammond apologises after backlash over This Morning musical comments

Alison Hammond has issued an apology after her comments about singing along to musicals at the theatre sparked a backlash.

The This Morning presenter, 48, was caught up in a row after discussing The Bodyguard musical, which is set to come to Newcastle's Theatre Royal this August, at which audience members have been asked to refrain from singing along to the featured Whitney Houston hits. Raising the subject with co-host Dermot O'Leary alongside regular guests Vanessa Feltz and Nick Ferrari on Wednesday's show, Alison said: "I just think it's terrible, because I sing at every single musical."

She added: "I can't believe it. I'd be devastated. I'm not even going to go to that show now."
