However, Rubiales has refused to indicate whether he will personally apologise to Hermoso for the kiss. Asked if he would, the 46-year-old replied: “So what happened is bad for everyone. We had Jenni lifting me.
“We had the fleeting kiss, two-tenths of a second, but what was created from that is crazy. So what’s left for me is to defend my dignity. So it’s not about that Piers, it’s about humility.”
After seemingly dodging the question, Morgan continued to press him for an answer. But an apology doesn’t seem set to come.
Rubiales said: “So what we had is a spontaneous act, a mutual act, an act that both consented to, which was driven by the emotion of the moment, the happiness, so I maintain that that is the truth of what happened.”
