Unless something starts being drawn out, the "general public" (and especially social media) has a very, very short memory. He'd probably even have been back on the beeb in a couple of years, but he's making it worse with the follow-up comments.
No they won't forget it. Mention Jim Davidson. Mention... well, anyone not loved by the current cuddlies and see how short their memories are.

Danny Baker has apologised. He might as well lay low now for the rest of his life while people can show us all how virtuous they are by hating him.
