Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? host Jeremy Clarkson has publicly apologised for comments he previously made about Meghan Markle. On Monday, 16 January, the 62-year-old broadcaster took to social media to share news that he'd reached out to the Duchess of Sussex personally after writing about her in a column in The Sun, which has been subsequently taken down.
In a lengthy Instagram post, Clarkson said he usually reads what he's written before filing his copy, but he was home alone that day and in a hurry. "So when I'd finished, I just pressed send. And then, when the column appeared the next day, the land mine exploded."
He said that after picking up a copy of The Sun, he'd quickly realised his mistake. Of this, he said: "You are sweaty and cold at the same time. And your head pounds. And you feel sick. I couldn't believe what I was reading. Had I really said that? It was horrible."
