A day after comparing her black co-host to a gorilla, an Oklahoma TV presenter apologized to him.

Alex Housden told his colleague, Jason Hackett, that a gorilla at the Oklahoma City Zoo “looks like you.” This was reported on Thursday, at the end of a program on KOCO-TV, a CNN affiliate.

Hackett has accepted her apologise. Housden made the remark last Thursday during a segment on an ape whose handler was running the local zoo’s Instagram for the day.
