“I would not have posted it if I had thought it would have upset you but I realise it has and for that I apologise,” the British actor and comedian wrote on Instagram.

Matt Lucas has issued an apology to Millie Bobby Brown for comments he’s made about her appearance.

The British actor and comedian took to his Instagram right after the Stranger Things star posted a video, publicly calling out journalists for criticizing the way she looks.

“Dear Millie, I just saw your post and wanted to respond, and provide some context,” Lucas wrote. “Nearly 25 years ago I co-wrote and appeared in a sketch show called Little Britain. There was a character in it called Vicky Pollard, who had blonde hair and always wore a pink top, and in the photo you had blonde hair and wore a pink top so I pointed out the similarity by posting one of her catchphrases.”
