SIR David Jason apologised yesterday for a "joke" he made about Pakistanis on a radio show.
Appearing on the Christian O'Connell Show on Absolute Radio, the Only Fools And Horses star was asked to leave a question for the next guest as part of the Who's Calling Christian? feature, in which celebrities try to win money for charity.
The 69-year-old actor replied with a joke about the name of a Pakistani cloakroom attendant.
O'Connell immediately said, "No more jokes like that", and the incident was edited out of the show before it was put on the station's website as a podcast.
A spokeswoman for Sir David said: "He is very sorry if he has offended anyone. He was horrified when he found he had given offence. He hadn't thought it was a racist joke, but if people took it that way, he's very sorry about it."
