A Tory candidate at the next general election has apologised after he likened Italians to "greasy wops" during a live radio show.

Alun Cairns, who is also a Welsh Assembly Member, made the gaff while taking part on Radio Cymru's weekly discussion show Dau o'r Bae on Friday lunchtime.

Towards the end of the show, contributors were asked to say who they would be supporting in the Euro 2008 tournament.

One mentioned she had written a note saying "boring" next to Sweden, and "nice flag" next to Portugal on a list of teams.

When she added that she had written "nice food" next to Italy in the list, Mr Cairns said: "I've written greasy wops."
