Coronation Street star Simon Gregson says he regrets posting a sweary tweet defending Dominic Cummings - but still stands by what he said.
Simon, who plays Steve McDonald in Corrie, said he was drunk when he blasted critics of Prime Minister Boris Johnson's chief adviser.
Mr Cummings has faced a public backlash after he drove 260 miles to Durham with his wife and son towards the beginning of the coronavirus lockdown.
The actor launched a foul-mouthed attack after the Prime Minister's aide made a lengthy statement to justify making the journey, which many felt broke lockdown rules.
