The Whitney Houston hologram tour is about to launch across the UK, but the first look at the late star’s hologram left TV viewers “unsettled”.

This Morning displayed the first look of the hologram, made to look like Whitney Houston, but those watching on TV found the experience “spooky”.

Show hosts Eamonn Holmes and Ruth Langsford watched on as the hologram gave a rendition of ‘The Greatest Love Of All’.

One viewer commented online: “It’s very unsettling,” as another wrote: “I think I was expecting her to look more real.”

However, Eamonn told viewers that in person, it looked like Whitney was in the room.

An Evening with Whitney – The Whitney Houston Hologram Tour will feature a holographic and mixed media performance of her classic hits.

Backed by a live band, singers, and dancers, show bosses are promising the shows to be a special celebration of the late singer.
