Mail apologises to TV star for ‘expelled’ claim

By paulmcnally

The Daily Mail has apologised to former ITV chatshow host Simon Dee – real name Nicholas Henty-Dodd – after it mistakenly suggested he had been expelled from school in an article dating from November 2006.

“We now accepted that he was not expelled from Shrewsbury and that he left that school of his own accord,” the paper said today. “We apologise for any distress caused.”
