A Leave voter has broken down in tears live on the radio after admitted he was wrong to back Brexit.
The caller, who admitted he was a bit of an 'old-fashioned git', called James O'Brien's LBC radio show to say he felt he was wrong to back Brexit.
'I owe you an apology my dear, fellow. I was wrong, I was wrong, I was wrong,' the caller from Exmouth said. 'I think you're absolutely right.'
'I was wrong, I am so sorry. What have I done to my country? I'm so sorry,' the man known as Bill continued.
