Sunderland manager David Moyes says he 'deeply regrets' threatening to slap a female reporter in a post-match interview.
Moyes has apologised for the exchange with BBC Newcastle and Radio Five Live reporter Vicki Sparks after the Black Cats' 0-0 Premier League draw with Burnley at the Stadium of Light on March 18.
And speaking at his pre-match press conference on Monday ahead of the Black Cats' clash with Leicester 24 hours later, Moyes issued a public apology. Sportsmail's Craig Hope was there and provides the transcript in full of what the Scot had to say.
