Dermot O'Leary breaks silence after This Morning theatre singing backlash

Dermot O'Leary has issued a statement following a controversial segment on This Morning.

Alison Hammond, Vanessa Feltz and Dermot spoke about whether theatregoers should be allowed to sing along during musicals. It came after reports that the Palace Theatre in Manchester had pre-warned audience members they would not be permitted to sing during performances of The Bodyguard musical.

During the discussion on This Morning, Alison read out details of how the no-singing rules were being enforced at the Palace Theatre, before saying: "I can't believe it. I'd be devastated and I'm not even going to that show."
