Jimmy Carr blames himself for tax dodge row

COMEDIAN Jimmy Carr was today due to admit the row over his tax affairs was “entirely my fault” on his popular television show 8 Out Of 10 Cats.

The comedian was to present the Channel 4 comedy panel game tonight for the first time since news broke that he had used a complex scheme to avoid paying HM Revenue and Customs.

On the show, fellow panellists tease him mercilessly about his domination of the headlines.

At one point Carr says: “I’ve been dishing it out for years, it’s about time I got some. I hate to sound like I’m passing the buck, but I’ll tell you who I blame for this whole mess – me. It’s entirely my fault.”
