Danny Baker has made a further apology following the storm over his royal family tweet this week.
He has posted the following tweets to draw a line under the story.
"Good morning, everyone. Following one of the worst days of my life I just want to formally apologise for the outrage I caused and explain how I got myself into this mess. I chose the wrong photo to illustrate a joke. Disastrously so.
There is something of a trend for one-man shows straddling comedy and drama in their performance, sending up their star with a self-important persona, and taking us through their 'journey' as the audience is let in on the joke that the performer is too self-involved to get. And Tom Neenan's show It's Always Infinity is a good reason for this enjoyable habit to continue.
