The Bodyguard's Melody Thornton speaks out on Instagram after show halted and riot police called

Melody Thornton has spoken out after a performance of hit musical The Bodyguard was stopped before the end due to members of the audience refusing to stop singing over the cast.

The show, based on the classic film of the same name, has been touring the country again, after making its debut in the West End nearly a decade ago. And this time its Pussycat Doll star Melody who is taking on the role first made famous by the late and great Whitney Houston, with her wowing audiences in Sunderland in February.

Melody is following in the footsteps of Beverley Knight and Alexandra Burke by playing diva Rachel Marron, the pop megastar under threat from an obsessed stalker. The show's soundtrack is full of Whitney classics, including So Emotional, I'm Every Woman, I Have Nothing and, of course, I will Always Love You.
