'Don’t do what I did.'
Now, after receiving backlash and being forced to defend his journey during the pandemic, Gaiman has now issued another statement.on Monday evening, Gaiman began: ‘So. I did something stupid. I’m really sorry.’
After saying his previous post attracted news ‘not in a good way’, he went on: ‘And I’ve managed to mess things up in Skye, which is the place I love most in the world.’ Gaiman – who shares four-year-old son Ash with Palmer – is now isolating at his Scottish property, which he has owned for 10 years, after he flew ‘masked and gloved’ from Auckland Airport to Los Angeles and then on to London before borrowing a friend’s car and driving north to Skye.Insisting he socially distanced on the flight, he felt since he lived and worked in the UK the ‘exceptional travel advisory’ from the Government deemed his travel permissible.
Saying he ‘should’ have stayed in New Zealand, Gaiman urged his readers: ‘So, yes. I made a mistake. Don’t do what I did.He concluded by apologising to ‘everyone on the island for creating such a fuss’, as well as the local police, who he said ‘had better things to do than check up on me’. Yesterday Scottish police Inspector Linda Allan said in a statement obtained by PA: ‘Officers have visited Neil Gaiman and spoken to him about his actions.
