Dermot O'Leary has sparked a wave of fresh criticism after defending comments he made on This Morning about audiences singing in theatres.
Dermot, 49, and co-host Alison Hammond faced a backlash last week after discussing hit musical The Bodyguard on the ITV morning show, where people attending the performance have been 'banned' from singing along. Dermot laughed along as Alison remarked: "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." The remarks resurfaced after an incident during a performance of the musical at the Palace Theatre in Manchester on Friday saw police called to deal with the audience as "mini riots" and "fights" broke out.
