Fox News host apologises to Clarkson for 'weight' comments

Fox News host Chris Wallace has issued an apology to singer Kelly Clarkson after poking fun on her weight.

Wallace was a guest on the radio show "The Mike Gallagher Show", where Gallagher said of the former American Idol winner, "Holy cow, did she blow up."
