Celebrity chef James Martin has been forced to apologise for creating "sheer terror" for a group of cyclists while test driving a car.
The Saturday Kitchen presenter, who is known for his love of fast sports car said in his Mail on Sunday column, "that he had intentionally forced them into a hedge as he turned a corner" and it was the best thing he had "ever seen in my rear-view mirror". He also spoke of his "hate" for cyclists in the article.
Not only have these comments sparked fury from cycling groups, but users of social networking tool Twitter have also been tweeting their thoughts on the issue.
Needless to say, tweets have not been that complimentary with comments such as:
"James Martin, what a total c**k - http://tinyurl.com/mfrn8g - over rated no hope z-list chef too no"
"Sorry, my arse! James Martin sorry for cycling 'terror' http://bit.ly/Romrl Another reason to hurl bricks at the TV on a Sat morning"
"See that the 'I hate James Martin' fbook group has been renamed 'why does James Martin hate cyclists"
"I'm thinking of blasting James Martin with a foghorn as he takes a massive hot dish from an oven. Be a laugh for any cyclists I reckon!"
