Dawn French has taken down a video she posted on Instagram about the war in Gaza, saying she apologised "unreservedly" for it.
The video sparked a backlash, with critics accusing the actress and comedian of appearing to "mock" the 7 October 2023 attack.
On Saturday, French acknowledged on Instagram that the video "appeared one-sided", and said she never meant to "mock, or dismiss, or diminish the horror" of that day.
"I hope you will understand my intention was not to offend, but I clearly have. For which I am sorry and I have removed the video," she added.
In the 40-second video, posted earlier this week, the Vicar of Dibley star shared her views on the ongoing war, saying: "Complicated, no, but nuanced. But [the] bottom line is no."
