Hongkong star Andy Hui, who fell from grace after a video of him making out with TVB actor Kenneth Ma's girlfriend was posted online, apologised to his wife Sammi Cheng and for his “disgusting” actions at a press conference in Hongkong this evening (April 16). The 51-year-old, dressed in a black jacket, grey T-shirt and jeans, looked like broken version of himself as he faced the media scrum.

He started the press con off by bowing.

Here’s a transcript of his tearful eight-minute long apology courtesy of 8days.sg:

Firstly, at today’s press conference, I want to personally give my sincere apologies. To my family, Sammi’s family, and all those who love her, I am profoundly sorry. I made an irredeemable mistake, and for this mistake I am deeply apologetic.

I am an artiste, so today I am here to accept full responsibility. That night I drank too much but I know that is not an excuse. I did something that I truly regret and now I can’t look at myself, or accept myself.

After reading the reports, I feel very shameful, very wrong, very hateful, very disgusting, very alien. I have seriously thought about what I did, why couldn’t I control myself and had to make this mistake.

To be responsible for what I did, firstly, I will stop all work I have at hand until I find the right version of myself, and to go on the right path again. Secondly, because of my mistake and my actions, I have caused all those who love me to suffer. I hope in the future, all those who have been hurt, can be well.

The reports have made me realise that that the biggest problem is that I lost myself. Lastly, I want to tell all those who love me that I am sorry. I have embarrassed them. I am sorry, Sammi. I don’t know what will happen next, I have no soul now, I am a damaged person.

I hope everyone will give me more time to find myself again. To end off, I want to say sorry to all my friends.

Andy then ended the press con with another bow to the media.
