A British celebrity television chef apologised on Monday for being "stupid and irresponsible" after he was arrested for shoplifting cheese and wine from a supermarket. Antony Worrall Thompson, 60, who stars in the show "Ready, Steady, Cook", was cautioned by police after he was caught at the Tesco store in the upmarket town of Henley-on-Thames, west of London.
In a message on his website, he said: "I am so sorry for all my recent stupid and irresponsible actions. I am, of course, devastated for my family and friends, whom I've let down, and will seek the treatment that is clearly needed. "I am not the first and I certainly won't be the last person to do something without rhyme or reason - what went through my head, only time will tell." Worrall Thompson apologised to Tesco, the world's third-largest retailer, saying that they had had a "long and genuine working relationship", and to staff at his local branch.
