Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) TOM Fletcher has apologised after posting an "insensitive" Instagram photo after the fatal Air India crash. He deleted a post about flying a plane while listening to the Foo Fighters song Learn to Fly. 4 Tom Fletcher has apologised for an insensitive post shared on the day of the Air India crash Credit: Getty 4 The tail of the plane is seen hanging from the edge of a building after the crash in India Credit: Reuters 4 People stand near debris at the site of the plane crash On Thursday it was revealed that an Air India plane burst into a fireball while carrying 242 people, including 53 Brits, flying to London Gatwick airport. A British man miraculously survived the crash after jumping off the flaming jet and was filmed walking away from the wreckage. After reading the reports, McFly singer Tom, 38, wrote: "Sorry, I've only just seen the terrible news about the Air India crash. "So awful. Had I known earlier, I obviously wouldn't have posted about my flight today. The former Strictly Come Dancing star continued: "I understand why that must have looked insensitive and have deleted it. Thanks for letting me know. "My whole heart goes out to everyone involved in the crash and all their friends & families." Tom got his license to fly in 2008 when he was just 23 years old. He previously said he would have been a pilot if he wasn't in McFly. Tom apologised after Mark Wright was slammed for moaning about leg room on his flight after the tragic Air India crash. The former Towie star, 38, posted a snap of himself with wife Michelle Keegan and baby Palma posing in front of a private plane, as he moaned about the leg room on standard jets. Mark Wright slammed for 'poor taste' post about planes as 265 killed in horror Air India crash Appearing completely oblivious to the day's events, Mark wrote alongside it: '1 day babe, for now we'll take row 26 with no extra leg room.' His followers were quick to point out his lack of sensitivity, with one person commenting: 'Prob not the best day to post this when so many people lost their lives on a plane.' A second said: 'Not really appropriate to put this up after today's plane crash.' While a third wrote: 'Poor taste given today's event.' And a fourth added: 'What a time to choose to post this.' Radio DJ Mark has since deleted the post and blamed it on an admin error. He wrote: "I apologise for a post I just put up on my page after today's heartbreaking events. "I have posts from a holiday that are on the scheduled setting, which go out on future days I have set them for which was done last week. It's a horrendous coincidence that today's post was on such a devastating day. "Once I logged in to my Instagram and realised the post had gone out, I immediately deleted. My heart goes out to everyone who has been effected from today. I'm sorry for this mistake and any offence caused." At least 265 people were killed - including those on the plane and on the ground - when the Air India flight crashed into a hostel seconds after take off. According to flight tracking website Flightradar, the Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner's final signal was received just seconds after take-off. This was last logged at 1:38pm local time - less than a minute after it started the journey. King Charles II said he was "desperately shocked" by Thursday's air crash in India, sending "prayers and deepest possible sympathies" to the families of those affected. "My wife and I have been desperately shocked by the terrible events in Ahmedabad this morning," the monarch wrote on Instagram, calling it a "heartbreaking and traumatic time".

Wynne Evans shares full apology video which he claims BBC 'cut short'
To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video Wynne Evans has shared a full apology video from Strictly Come Dancing which he claims the BBC ordered him to cut short. The Welsh opera singer, 53, was fired from the Strictly Come Dancing Live Tour earlier this year, and recently dropped from his BBC Radio Wales rolling contract after a string of controversies. This week, he insisted during an interview with This Morning that an apology he and Katya Jones shared during last year's Strictly series was originally meant to be longer. The singer and his professional dance partner sparked controversy when she appeared to move his hand from her waist, which he said was 'just a body language experiment that was picked up on'. He added on This Morning: 'Katya said to me, 'Put your hand on my waist, I'll move it back, we'll see if anybody picks it up [on social media],' and boy did they pick it up.' Wake up to find news on your TV shows in your inbox every morning with Metro's TV Newsletter. Sign up to our newsletter and then select your show in the link we'll send you so we can get TV news tailored to you. The pair shared a brief apology video at the time, but he has now shared a different version which is 50 seconds long instead of the 10 second clip that got published. 'Hello everyone. We felt the need to clarify something,' Katya said at the start of the longer backstage video. 'We find it quite fascinating how people take time to look into in such detail every gesture, every look.' Wynne added: 'So we thought we'll mess around. And we said, 'Oh I'll put my hand on your waist, you pretend to move it away and let's see who notices it.' 'And now everybody thinks I'm a weirdo. But really I promise you I'm not. And we're doing this high ten thing as well where she blanks me from a high ten.' The pair insisted it was 'all sort of planned just to see if anybody notices', while Katya said they wanted to 'clarify that it's all just messing around'. 'He's not a creep,' she added. 'But he's a brilliant dancer.' Wynne captioned the newly shared clip: 'The video that was too long for @bbcstrictly @bbccymruwales I think this tells it as it was.' However, the BBC has insisted 'all parties agreed' that the shorter version was the best way forward. A spokesperson told The Sun: 'For the avoidance of doubt, the video in question was filmed twice and all parties agreed at the time that the second more concise version would be better suited for social media.' On This Morning, Wynne admitted he can 'totally understand' how people were confused and 'upset' by the stunt. To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video He said: 'I don't want to sit here today, coming across as a victim because I'm not. I totally understand why people were upset by that and I get it.' However, he argued that the decision to only share a 10-second apology was still 'the wrong decision'. Earlier this year, Wynne was sensationally dumped from the Strictly Come Dancing Live Tour over comments he made involving host Janette Manrara. The 'unacceptable' joke referenced having a threesome with the dancer, 41. Soon after he apologised, saying he was 'deeply sorry for the pain my inappropriate action caused' and would take a break from the public eye for 'self-reflection' and to 'prioritise my wellbeing'. More Trending And the BBC later decided not to renew his one-year rolling BBC Radio contract following a four-month investigation. He confirmed in an Instagram statement: 'It breaks my heart to say the BBC has decided not to renew my contract, so I won't be returning to my radio show. I'm gutted. 'That show wasn't just work — it was home. It was us. We laughed, we cried, we sang like nobody was listening. And somehow, through the airwaves, we became a family.'

Strictly's Dianne Buswell sends wedding message to Joe Sugg with four-word comment
Our community members are treated to special offers, promotions and adverts from us and our partners. You can check out at any time. More info Strictly Come Dancing star Dianne Buswell had a four-word wedding message for partner Joe Suggs. Professional dancer Dianne, 36, met 33-year-old Joe when the two were paired together on the hit BBC show in 2018. The pair made it to the final as Stacey Dooley and Kevin Clifton lifted the famous Glitterball Trophy. Dianne and Joe's relationship blossomed and the pair confirmed they were dating later in the year. They moved in together the following year, buying their first home in February 2021. However fans have been left waiting for YouTuber Joe to pop the question. And on her Winning Isn't Everything podcast with fellow Strictly winner Chris McCausland, Dianne had a message for her long-term boyfriend. In a discussion about fingers, Dianne pointed to her ring finger and asked: 'What's that one, your best friend finger?' Only for Chris to respond: 'It's the one Joe's done nothing with.' (Image: undefined via Getty Images) Dianne said: 'Exactly, we need to remind Joe what that finger holds. That finger is feeling very lonely, it needs something to weigh it down with.' When they bought their luxurious £3.5million London home in 2021, Dianne hinted that a wedding wasn't on the cards yet. She admitted that her career came first and that the couple were 'playing their marriage by ear'. Speaking to the Mirror , she said: 'Joe and I don't really talk about that kind of thing. We're both so relaxed so we just play it by ear. We really enjoy each other's company so much and whatever happens, happens." Dianne has also revealed the couple's plans to start a family one day. In a 2022 interview the Australian-born dancer said that she and Joe are hoping to start a family 'when it feels right' – admitting that much like their marriage plans, they are in no rush to take the next steps in their love story. (Image: DianneBuswell Instagram) Joe, the younger brother of fellow YouTuber Zoe Sugg, was 27 when he met Dianne. He has previously confessed she was his first 'proper girlfriend'. Speaking to The Sunday Times back in 2021, Joe confessed: "Dianne is my first girlfriend. Other than, like, my penpal from when I was 10." He admits he was initially apprehensive about sharing loved-up snaps with his partner. He said: 'My audience was very protective over me. But they instantly accepted Dianne, because we were partnered on Strictly, so after the show finished and we got together, they already felt like they knew her well." Fans on social media often pine for a wedding announcement when Joe and Dianne share photos together. One wrote: 'Can you get married.' On an Instagram post, fellow Strictly professional Johannes Radebe wrote: "If you don't marry him Di, I will..."
