or are we way too late?
BBC presenter Clare Balding has apologised to Grand National winning jockey Liam Treadwell after making fun of his teeth while on air. In a post-race interview, Balding urged the 23-year-old to show his teeth and told him he could afford to "get them done" with his prize money. A BBC spokeswoman said the presenter "had no intention whatsoever" of upsetting or embarrassing the jockey. The BBC received 1,477 complaints from viewers over the remarks.
