James Corden unbanned from Balthazar restaurant in New York after ‘apologising profusely’ to owner

Comedian and TV host James Corden has had his ban from a New York restaurant removed less than 24 hours after it was first imposed. Corden had been barred from Balthazar - a popular luxury restaurant - for being rude to its staff, but the decision has since been reversed.

Keith McNally, the owner of the eatery, took to social media on Monday to say Corden had been an “abusive customer” after some errors with his orders. McNally described The Late Late Show host as “a hugely gifted comedian but a tiny cretin of a man,” referring to a visit from the TV star in June.
