"I know it's a tough time for everyone at the moment, being locked indoors for so long, and I obviously just got a call off a friend asking me to go round to his and I stupidly agreed to do so.”
"I don't want anyone to make the same mistake that I did, I obviously and genuinely I want to stay at home and follow the rules and guidelines of what we've been asked to do.”
"I know for a fact that I'll be doing that in the near future now, and obviously as I said I urge everyone to do the same.
"I hope everyone can accept my apology and we can move on from this and hopefully in the near future we can all be out enjoying ourselves again, once this has all boiled over."
