Goodwin says she was never asked and only saw the clips in recent days. Angelone says he has now apologised to her directly.

Rape Crisis Northern Ireland and the Dublin Rape Crisis Centre have both condemned the remarks.
Goodwin said friends laughed at the joke, and 'not one of them has reached out'.
