Fans took to X to express their thoughts, with one user cautioning, “#Strictly Careful what you say George, most who tune in love musicals. You could cheese a lot of supporters off.” Another viewer expressed disappointment, saying, “Yeah of course you hate musicals George, is there anything he actually likes?” Meanwhile, others appreciated his honesty, with one commenting, “I spat my tea out when George said he hated musicals. Loved his honesty.”
