Jeremy Clarkson has issued a statement saying he is 'horrified to have caused so much hurt' after a column where he described how much he hated Meghan Markle and wanted her dragged naked through the streets with people throwing excrement at her caused outrage. Press watchdog IPSO said it has received 6,000 complaints about the article which appeared in The Sun.
It was widely condemned - even by Clarkson’s daughter Emily who, said in an online post that she is “against everything that my dad wrote". The Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? host has since taken to Twitter to issue a grovelling apology, saying he was "horrified to have caused so much hurt".
He said: "Oh dear. I’ve rather put my foot in it. In a column I wrote about Meghan, I made a clumsy reference to a scene in Game of Thrones and this has gone down badly with a great many people. I’m horrified to have caused so much hurt and I shall be more careful in future."
