James Corden has admitted he was "ungracious" and said it was never his "intention" to upset staff at a New York restaurant, following allegations he "yelled" at a waiter.
The Gavin and Stacey writer said he would like to make a personal apology to those he upset if he is allowed back to Balthazar, after owner Keith McNally briefly banned him from the eatery.
44-year-old James was widely criticised last week over claims he had been "extremely nasty" to staff on two separate occasions. Keith slammed the comedian on social media, with calls for James to be banned from other venues.
