Dapper Laughs/Daniel O'Reilly issues apology

Daniel O'Reilly, who plays the character Dapper Laughs, has issued the following statement on social media about the current controversy and accusations of misogyny: "I know there has been heated commentary on social media in recent days, online abuse of any kind is wrong. Therefore I would like to say a few words to make my views clear. Some comedians push the boundaries in the name of entertainment. That means taking risks. But I think it's important that if we over step the mark and cause upset that we apologise. I would like to say sorry to those people who I have upset by my recent comments. I assure them that was not my intention."
