Sir Bradley Wiggins’ representatives have apologised after Britain's most decorated cyclist stunned guests by making a crude joke about a sex act at a charity dinner held for child abuse victims, saying it was “friendly banter” after he was “caught unawares” by the event’s auctioneer Jon Hammond.
At the Firecracker Ball in aid of Barnardo’s children’s charity, Hammond approached Wiggins, who had donated a signed shirt for the auction, the cyclist’s face then appeared on a giant video screen as he told the host: “You’ve got a posh voice. I like posh voices. S*** me off.”
Wiggins’ shirt still sold for £5,000.
Guests said that alcohol was running “extremely freely” at the Rudding Park Hotel in Harrogate, and although reports make it clear that Wiggins was not drunk when he made the remark, fellow diners at the £300-a-head event have spoken of their “complete disgust” in his actions, which would have been better suited to a raucous “stag do”.
