The presenter had criticised a ban on audiences singing along to musical shows at the Palace Theatre in Manchester.
Alison Hammond apologised for her comments, with Strictly Come Dancing legend Dame Arlene Phillips thanking her
The comments were criticised with many pointing out the audience singing was"disrespectful" to the performers, and it had caused disruption to the actual show. Dame Arlene Phillips replied: “Alison thank you for your apology but I would just like to say, you have no idea what it is really like for those performers in the shows where the songs are popular hits and certain members of the audience feel entitled to join in.
"I had no idea the level of disruption audiences were causing and tried to make light of the topic on Wednesday's show, and for that I'm truly sorry.
