Adrian Chiles apologises for 'lazy stereotyping' after making Polish builder joke Adrian Chiles has apologised to anyone who thought he was guilty of "lazy stereotyping" for comments he made about Polish builders at the end of ITV's coverage of England 4-1 victory against Montenegro on Friday night. After pundit Lee Dixon said he hoped all 15,000 Poles expected at Wembley to watch Tuesday's match against England would be crying by the end, Chiles said: "I'm trying to get some building work done at the moment, quite seriously. Be careful. The comments came under fire on Twitter, but Chiles, whose mother is Croatian, yesterday defended his position. "I made the remark in relation to the nice Polish builders currently working at my place, who I knew would already be fed up having watched their team lose to Ukraine," he said. No offence was intended - apart from anything else I could hardly be prouder of my own East European background. But to anyone who thought what I said constituted some kind of lazy stereotyping, and was offended by it, I certainly apologise.
