Comedian and author David Baddiel has apologised after he came under fire after clips emerged of him using a slur to refer to Gypsies in a tv show with longtime partner Frank Skinner.
In the clip from the Frank Skinner Show, originally broadcast in 2004, Mr. Baddiel recounts a time he visited a shop in Kensington dressed scruffily. He said: "The thing is that if you go into a shop like that, and you look like a bit of a pikey, which I sort of do when I’ve not got a suit on, and they don’t recognise you, they just think what the f**k are you doing in here, right?"

Last week, when the now-viral clip of Jimmy Carr joking about the genocide of Roma people emerged, Baddiel slammed his "close friend" in a thread where he called Carr's joke "cruel and racist."
