has issued an apology and agreed to pay “substantial damages” after accusing an academic of having “a Jew blocklist”.actor – who recently appeared on The Great Celebrity Bake Off for Stand Up 2 Cancer – said she appreciated that comments she made in April 2021 were “hurtful”.
“The following day Dr Proudfoot explained that this was wrong and that he had used ‘a tool to mass block an account I followed that was involved in targeted trolling, which also blocks followers’. He has since assured me that this was an account which he believed was trolling and harassing him and he had not deliberately blocked Jewish accounts.
“I accept that Dr Proudfoot had at no time had a Jew blocklist and apologise for stating otherwise. I made a mistake and appreciate that my comments were hurtful. I have therefore deleted my tweet, agreed to pay substantial damages and legal costs.”
