Fans of television presenter Alison Hammond have praised the This Morning presenter for apologising after she enraged the theatre world during a discussion on the show. Hammond left some ITV viewers and theatre performers upset during a chat on whether audience members should sing along during musical performances.
Alison, co-host Dermot O'Leary and guest Vanessa Feltz discussed the banning of singing at the Manchester production of The Bodyguard musical, reports The Mirror. 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.”
The ITV presenter shared a statement on Twitter after enraging the theatre community. It read: "After reflection and the comments I made on Wednesday's show I want to apologise to anyone who I offended especially the incredibly talented theatre performers, who I have the upmost respect for".
