Dermot O'Leary has issued his own statement after Alison Hammond made a grovelling apology for her comments on This Morning.
The presenting pair were hit with backlash over their comments about people singing during theatre shows, sparking huge controversy as fans accused them of encouraging people to sing along and thus ruining other people's experiences.
Alison, co-host Dermot and guest Vanessa Feltz were on the show last week as they debated the banning of singing at the Manchester production of The Bodyguard musical. As Dermot laughed at the new rules, Alison said: "I can’t believe it. I’d be devastated. I’m not even going to go to that show now."
