Bodyguard show stopped after audience members refuse to stop singing along

Actor Melody Thornton apologises for disruption of Manchester performance after police called and disruptive theatregoers removed

Actor Melody Thornton has apologised to fans after a performance of the Bodyguard at Manchester's Palace theatre was forced to end early and police were called to deal with two disruptive audience members.

The last 10 minutes of the musical, in which the former Pussycat Dolls star plays the lead role, were axed on Friday night after several members of the audience refused to remain seated and refrain from loudly singing, leading to them being forcibly removed".
