James Corden has come under fire this week after a New York restaurant owner branded him a "cretin of a man" for "yelling like crazy" at his staff over an omelette.
The comedian, 44, was barred by Balthazar SoHo eatery owner Keith McNally, who later lifted it claiming James had rung him personally to "apologise profusely".
Keith shared two separate reports from managers of his Balthazar eateries – where one claimed he was "extremely nasty" to one waiter and "demanded" a round of drinks after finding hair in his food.
