Comic Relief apologises for Frankie Boyle jokes

Comic Relief has apologised to its supporters after Frankie Boyle caused controversy at a charity gig with a string of gags about the Queen of England.

The Scottish comic was reported to have been booed by the audience at the Give It Up for Comic Relief concert at Wembley Arena after launching into a routine which included jokes about the Queen’s recent illness, the Duchess of Cambridge’s pregnancy and the Jimmy Savile sex scandal.
