Leslie Grantham statement: "I would like to unreservedly
apologise to the cast and crew of EastEnders and the 大象传媒 for the embarrassment
that has been caused by recent newspaper allegations.
"I would like to also say sorry and pay personal tribute to Kim
Medcalf, Wendy Richard, Shane Richie and Jessie Wallace in particular,
who have been caught up in the results of my deplorable actions.
"I very much regret that a moment's stupidity has cast a shadow
over what I consider one of Britain's best shows of which I'm thoroughly
proud to be a part.
"I am wholeheartedly ashamed of my behaviour and feel that I have
let down my colleagues, as well as my friends and family.
"In some small recompense I intend to make a donation to charity
as a mark of my apology.
"Now I'd like some time to show my family the love and support
they have shown me over the last few days."
大象传媒 statement: "Anything that exposes the programme to embarrassment
and any abuse of 大象传媒 resources is taken very seriously by the 大象传媒.
"However we do appreciate Leslie's sincere expression of regret
and his decision to make a contribution to charity.
"We do not intend to make any further public statements about
this matter."
