WASHINGTON APOLOGISES FOR DEMPSEY BUST-UP

LATEST: GREY'S ANATOMY star ISAIAH WASHINGTON has apologised to his co-stars following his heated argument with PATRICK DEMPSEY on the set of the medical drama earlier this month (OCT06).

Isaiah Washington (L) at the 58th Annual Primetime Emmy Awards - Arrivals, held at the Shrine Auditorium Los Angeles, California - 27.08.06 and Patrick Dempsey (R) at Grey's Anatomy : The Complete Second Season-Uncut DVD Launch party held at the Social Hollywood Club, Hollywood, California - 05.09.06

Washington, who plays DR PRESTON BURKE, and Dempsey, who plays DR DEREK SHEPHERD, came to blows over shooting issues, but soon resolved their problems.

Following the incident, rumours surfaced Washington had used a homophobic slur during the argument. Ten days later (19OCT06) their co-star TR KNIGHT, who plays DR GEORGE O'MALLEY, revealed he was gay.

In a statement to People magazine, Washington says, "I sincerely regret my actions and the unfortunate use of words during the recent incident on-set.

"Both are beneath my own personal standards. I have nothing but respect for my co-workers and have apologised personally to everyone involved."
