This Morning star Alison Hammond receives Ofcom complaints
Alison sparked plenty of Ofcom complaints in April 2023 over her theatre remarks on This Morning.
The 48-year-old telly legend sparked backlash over her comments, which she said on a previous episode when she and her co-hosts were discussing singing in the theatre.
The discussion started following the news that a theatre in Manchester had stopped audiences from singing along to Whitney Houston’s songs during The Bodyguard musical. But Alison’s comment on This Morning about the matter soon caused an uproar across the nation and from many theatre performers.
