The BBC's horse racing presenter Clare Balding has had to apologise to Grand National winner Liam Treadwell after she made fun of his teeth.
In a post-race interview, Balding urged the jockey to show his teeth, saying: "just give us a big grin to the camera."
When he smiled, keeping his lips firmly closed, she told him: "No, no, let's see your teeth. He hasn't got the best teeth in the world, but you can afford to go and get them done now if you like."
Treadwell, replied: "Well I could do, but I ain't complaining. It might be bringing on bad luck if I do that, though."
Hmm. Well at least he doesn't look like Mon Mome.

We were watching the Grand National and were absolutely amazed and gobsmacked at the crassness of Claire Baldings comment - has she no manners?
where do these people get off - I wonder would she like someone to be so personal about her looks! is she going to be suspended?
