Thank you so much @radioleary and @AlisonHammond on @thismorning for talking complete sense about drag!!!
Speaking about the event, Alison and Dermot stood up for the drag show claiming that it is ‘just a bit of fun’.
Alison said: “Surely it is just a bit of fun.”
Dermot added: “Just a sensory experience for babies.”
Ateh also commented: “I don’t understand what the problem is. It is fantastic, it is artists, it is so beautiful the colour and the movement – I think literally just get over it and just join it.”

However, this sparked a huge debate from viewers as many claimed that drag acts should only be for adults.
One fan tweeted: “Are you actually for real!!!!! It’s absolutely abhorrent.”
Someone else wrote: “Not surprised #ThisMorning is endorsing this drag act in front of babies. They don’t see anything wrong. Everything is wrong with it.”
A third added: “Drag is fun and entertaining, for ADULTS #ThisMorning” another said.
But some fans were also okay with the idea.
One fan wrote: “Pantomine – drag acts – kids love it #thismorning.”
Outraged by the backlash, Dancing On Ice star The Vivienne took to Twitter to share that ‘baby drag’ is ‘just entertainment’.
