Dame Arlene Phillips has replied to Alison Hammond to say "you have no idea" after the This Morning presenter apologised for her comments about The Bodyguard musical in Manchester which had to be stopped because of disruption on Friday night. Alison, 48, said she was 'truly sorry' for ‘making light’ of audiences singing along to musicals during a segment on Wednesday's show.
Alison took to Twitter with an apology and vowed to "do better in the future" after the popular presenter and her colleagues Dermot O’Leary, and Vanessa Feltz discussed whether audience members should be allowed to sing along while professional actors are performing on stage. There was a backlash to their discussion as Alison said: "I mean, I can't believe it. I'd be devastated, I'm not even going to go to that show now."
Vanessa said: "Isn't it the whole point of going to a musical 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? Isn't that what everybody does very very loudly while eating an ice cream?"
