Speaking to Natarsha Belling, the 51-year-old entertainment reporter admitted he “feels bad” for saying the things he did but added he won’t be apologising any time soon.
“I will say it’s been a year since I made those comments,” Richard began. “The thing is, I do feel bad now about saying that about Karl, about his hair.”
He explained how it wasn’t the most appropriate time or situation to make the remark, before adding: “I think I got off light, being called a tosser, actually.”
But when Natarsha asked the entertainment guru if he was going to apologise to Karl for making the remarks, Richard immediately said no.
