This Morning presenter Alison Hammond has broken her silence in an apology following reports of a ‘mini riot’ during a performance of The Bodyguard at Manchester's Palace Theatre over the weekend
Alison Hammond has broken her silence in an apology after comments she made on This Morning about singing in theatres.
The discussion during Wednesday's episode, ahead of the disruption on Friday night, was widely slammed on social media according to reports by Manchester Evening News. Vanessa quipped: "Isn't it the whole point of going to a musical you know, that you sing along to all the bits you know and when you don't know the words you just make them up? Isn't that what everybody does very very loudly while eating an ice cream?"
And CBBC star Chris Johnson said: "This is the dumbest take ever. People haven’t paid to hear the person sat behind them sing." "I am a great supporter of theatre and the arts and would never sing at the top of my lungs at any performance. I was wrong in what I said and I’ve given this a lot of thought over the past few days and believe I was wrong," she added.
