ITV's This Morning presenter Alison Hammond has shared a public apology after coming under fire from scores of people in the theatre industry for 'condoning' and 'encouraging' disruptive behaviour from audiences. It comes after the performance of The Bodyguard had to be scrapped in Manchester due to people singing in the crowd singing and shouting over the cast.
The star said in a statement that she is 'truly sorry' following her comments made on the Wednesday, April 5 segment on This Morning, adding that she has the 'utmost respect' for the talented theatre performers.
Alison, 48, also said that she "will do better" in the future amid the backlash and explained how she has been thinking about her comments over the last few days. She shared her apology on Twitter on Sunday (April 9).
