DJ Dave Fanning has apologised for controversial comments he made about Christy Dignam last week, saying he "really didn’t intend to come across that way".
During a radio segment remembering the late Aslan star on Claire Byrne's RTE Radio One show, the Irish rock DJ said that that even though this is a “time for eulogising” the Finglas singer “blew it”.
"He blew it royally and he would say later on that, you know, 'because of that I was abused at the age of six by a neighbour, and this whole of my life for ages so I filled it not by trying to get high with heroin, but just by filling it with heroin to keep myself away from the memory of it," he said.
