"I'll be sure to tell my 'black' side of my family that I sound like them! They'll be happy! 2020 and racism already starting 😤."

And he didn't just stop there; he then tweeted, "Say anything you want about my presenting ability but I will not tolerate racism one bit!

"I feel so totally ashamed about doing, it was taken out of context please forgive x. I have sent you a genuine apology, I have not deleted my account. I am not racist at all, it was taken out of context.

"If you want to use it and folk want to use it, by all means carry on. I have not racially abused anyone it's a shame you think so."
