Headline: Emily Blunt apologises for 'insensitive' comments about waitress

Caption: In newly resurfaced footage from the actress' 2012 appearance on The Jonathan Ross Show, Emily recalled being served by an "enormous" female worker at a U.S. restaurant chain. In the video, Emily also claimed the waitress, who worked at a branch of Chili's, must have enjoyed "freebie meals" at the eatery. The clip was widely shared this week and some social media users branded the Oppenheimer actress "fatphobic". Emily has now responded to the uproar and voiced her regret for the comments she made.
