Dawn French has apologised and taken down a video she posted about the war in Gaza after facing backlash.

The popular actress and comedian said she apologised "unreservedly" after posting a video in a "mocking tone".

In the original 40-second clip, the Vicar of Dibley star said: "Complicated, no, but nuanced. But bottom line is no."


Then, using a different tone, she went on: "Yeah, but you know they did a bad thing to us, yeah but no.

"But we want that land... and we have history... No.

"Those people aren't really even people, are they really? No."

On Saturday afternoon, she issued an apology, saying that in an effort to convey "an important message" she had "clumsily used a mocking tone".
