Dame Joan Bakewell has said sorry to chef Jamie Oliver for “bullying” him over her campaign to save a library in a genteel London suburb.
The veteran broadcaster had taken Oliver to task over what she claimed was his failure to support the bid, tweeting: “Jamie Oliver’s children use Chalk Farm Library. He won’t join the appeal to save it. Shame!”
Oliver replied saying: “please get your facts straight joan I have offered loads of support”.
He accused campaigners, who are trying to raise £1.2 million to save the library in Primrose Hill of only wanting his money.
The chef tweeted in reply to one of them: “I have offered total support – you’re incorrect, they (the campaigners) have been v rude and only want cash, disgraceful.”
Oliver said he had offered signed books and free dinners as auction prizes, but this had been turned down.
