The BBC announced that Thatcher would not work on The One Show again unless she made a more genuine apology.

Thatcher declined, stating “I am standing by what I said. I was not going to apologize. I never meant it in a derogatory manner.

It was a metaphor. I represented the presence of someone colloquially — someone I appreciate a lot.”
