While my conduct, which had been in keeping with my flamboyant and outrageous public persona nay be regarded as offensive and unacceptable by many people, I at no time intended to upset anyone. "Up until now, I had been unaware of these complaints or the impact of my conduct and I am truly sorry for any distress I may have caused in what I had regarded as light-hearted and good-natured circumstances. "Although, on legal advice, cannot comment on specific allegations at the present time, I nonetheless sincerely apologise to anyone I may have genuinely offended.

I have however come to the personal decision that I need time away from the spotlight after decades in the entertainment industry. I have informed Today FM that I am resigning from the station with immediate effect.
