Former The Only Way Is Essex star Maria Fowler has become embroiled in a second racism storm just days after she was accused of being racist and homophobic.
Maria used the term outside a party in Liverpool on Saturday night.
The star has since apologised for any upset her words have caused, tweeting: "Last night I was overheard discussing the fact I was branded a racist by Marcus Collins. In reaction to the allegations I mentioned that I am not a racist person and I went with a mixed race boy the other week. Now stupidly I used the term 'half breed' which means someone who is a mix of ethnicities, I then laughed at the stupidity of the situation.
"What I did not realise (and now fully regret) is that the term 'half breed' is seen by some, as derogatory it is a word that has openly been used by my peers through my life... I sincerely apologise if I have upset anyone with my terminology. This is a mistake I will definitely learn from. I am not perfect and we all make our mistakes. But once again I am not a racist and deeply sorry for any offence that may have been caused."
