Timmy Mallett says sorry to Kilroy

Timmy Mallett has apologised to Robert Kilroy-Silk for making fun of him as he took part in the Jungle Gym challenge.

Tensions have been rising between the pair, with Mallett telling the Bush Telegraph that the former talkshow host "seems to be easily rubbed up by me".

Mallett defended his actions, saying: "There are one or two serious folk in here. And you think: 'No, the world demands laughter.'"

However, the children's television star later caught up with Kilroy-Silk and apologised.

"I owe you an apology, Robert. I think you're a hero. I think you're a trouper. A big hero. I think what you achieved today was sensational, Robert," he said.

Kilroy-Silk responded: "Oh stop it now. I'm not a vindictive or vengeful person but Tim, I think you know me, I won't take any crap. I'm trying to fit in here and be not my normal self. I'm trying not to be aggressive, arrogant.

"That's fine. I accept [the apology]. You don't have to say anymore. But leave it there and no more."

He added: "I don't mind you laughing but you were distracting me. It's not me that saw it like that. Other people saw it too."
