Antony Worrall Thompson 'sorry' for Tesco shoplifting

TV chef Antony Worrall Thompson said he has "let down" his family after being cautioned by police for shoplifting and said he will "seek treatment".

Police arrested the 60-year-old at the Tesco store in Reading Road, Henley-on-Thames, Oxfordshire, on Friday.

Worrall Thompson, from High Wycombe in Buckinghamshire, was questioned and given a formal caution.

He apologised for his "stupid and irresponsible actions" and said he hoped he could "make amends".

'Low value goods'

In a statement, he added: "I am of course devastated for my family and friends, whom I've let down and will seek the treatment that is clearly needed.

"I am not the first, and I certainly won't be the last person to do something without rhyme or reason - what went through my head, only time will tell.

(continued)

Illness or just saving on the margins? :smoke:

When shoplifting was a crime of shame people didn't have to worry about the doors being left unlocked overnight. It was totally different social dynamic. Being aware of her status as a role model she did the right thing I guess? Do you think mr telly tubby will fall on his sword? :smoke:

I think voluntary euthanasia for folk who've lost the place is fine. If they make it legal, I'll sign up right away. Hapothanein thelo!
