Alison Hammond apologises after coming under fire for comments about people singing along in theatres

Alison Hammond has apologised for comments she made on This Morning about people singing in theatres after a performance of The Bodyguard at Manchester's Place Theatre had to be cancelled due to disruptive audience members.

On Wednesday’s, April 5 edition of the ITV show, Alison and co-host Dermot O’Leary were joined by guest Vanessa where they discussed the banning of singing at the Manchester production of The Bodyguard musical after a disruption.

After reading rules that asked theatre-goers to ‘refrain from singing’, Alison said: “I can’t believe it. I’d be devastated. I’m not even going to go to that show now.” Vanessa then added: “Isn’t the whole point of going to a musical that you know that you sing along to all the bits you know and when you don’t know the words you just make them up.”
