West Ham co-chairman David Gold sorry for liking tweet calling Caroline Flack 'weak'
- From the section West Ham
West Ham United co-chairman David Gold has apologised and promised to make a donation to a mental health charity after liking a social media post that described the late TV presenter Caroline Flack as "weak".
Flack, 40, was found dead in her north London home on Saturday.
Gold had liked a tweet that said something positive about the Premier League club, but also referenced the death of former Love Island presenter Flack.
He said it was "never his intention" to condone that part of the tweet and quickly removed the like.
In a statement released via the club, Gold said: "I apologise unreservedly for liking a tweet last night that I shouldn't have.
"It was never my intention to condone the sentiment expressed in the second half of it. I hastily pressed 'like' and very much regret doing so.
"I will be making a donation to Heads Together to recognise their important work."
