Ben Stokes has used his Twitter account for the first time on Wednesday (Oct 11) since the Bristol incident.He tweeted to apologise to the celebrity Katie Price following the release of a video last month which showed him allegedly doing an impression of Price and her disabled son, Harvey.
"Earlier this year I was shown a clip of Harvey being asked on "Loose Women" how he responds to internet trolls," Stokes said in a statement.
"I loved Harvey's directness with his response - he said what most of us think but perhaps aren't brave enough to say, let alone on live TV," in his statement.
"I foolishly attempted to copy the clip after I saw it a few times. I should never have done this and I am so sorry. It was absolutely not my intention to offend Harvey, Katie or anybody else," the statement added.
"I have written to both Harvey and Katie to say sorry and prior to this offered to meet in person at the end of last month with a view to also getting behind their petition about online bullying. I do hope I can put this right," the statement concluded.
