I think he was in no doubt he would be up for nomination whether he apologised or not, and that Trish, Noky and many others would still vote for him either way. He knew he didn’t mean it, Trish knew he didn’t mean it and Noky knew he didn’t mean it, and there was something a bit cringeworthy about the things he said.

Therefore, I believe his reasons for apologising were more about relieving some of the tensions within the house, and damage limitation regarding public opinion of him.
