Astronomer CEO Andy Byron has released a statement after getting caught with both hands in the cookie jar.

Byron was shown holding his head of HR, Kristin Cabot, from behind, swaying away to the music at a Coldplay concert in Boston on Wednesday night, having suddenly come up on the jumbotron, with Chris Martin also calling attention to them.

He ducked behind a barrier while Kristin covered her face and turned away, but hardly fast enough to avoid detection or identification.

He has since put out a statement claiming he wants “to acknowledge the moment that’s been circulating online, and the disappointment it’s caused.”

Byron described the incident as a “deeply personal mistake” which played out on “a very public stage.”

“I want to sincerely apologize to my wife, my family, and the team at Astronomer. You deserve better from me as a partner, as a father, and as a leader,” he wrote.

He added:

“This is not who I want to be or how I want to represent the company I helped build. I’m taking time to reflect, to take accountability, and to figure out the next steps, personally and professionally. I ask for privacy as I navigate that process.”

Andy Byron Somehow Blames Coldplay And Then Uses Their Lyrics

Andy Byron seemed to blame the artists and organizers for what happened, claiming what should have been private got out without his consent.

“I also want to express how troubling it is that what should have been a private moment became public without my consent,” he noted. “I respect artists and entertainers, but I hope we can al think more deeply about the impact of turning someone else’s life into a spectacle.

He closed it with the following:

“As a friend once sang: ‘Lights will guide you home, and ignite your bones, and I will try to fix you.” –Andy”

It’s as if he didn’t expect there to be cameras at a major concert…

Joining Lorraine Kelly on Monday’s episode of the ITV show, the TV presenter, 43, also gave an health update after having two tumours removed from jaw.

Fearne announced her split from Jesse, the son of Rolling Stones bass guitarist Ronnie Wood, in December after 10 years of marriage.

She has since made swipes at Jesse and moved on with TV director Elliot Hegarty, with the pair having been seen kissing during a recent night out.

Fearne has had a difficult few months after undergoing surgery to remove two benign tumours from her jawline, just days before her split with Jesse emerged.

She told host Lorraine: ‘It’s all very amicable and kids are doing great. I am in a very good place.’place.’

Discussing her recent surgery, she added: ‘I feel very grateful to have completely recovered.

‘I feel really good. I have a lot of people reaching out who have had the same thing.’

Davina McCall, 56, announced in November she’d been diagnosed with a colloid cyst, a rare type of benign brain tumour, and has supported Fearne.

She continued: ‘Everyone needs a Davina. She’s been amazing, weird that we had the same health thing going on at the same time. She’s so calming and we speak every day. She is just the best

It comes after Fearne has seemingly made another thinly-veiled dig at her ex-husband as she gushed that she is the happiest she’s ever been in a positive update.

Speaking to Scott Mills on his BBC Radio 2 breakfast show, Fearne gushed that she is ‘really happy’ and is ‘springing out of bed in the morning ready for life’.

Scott, who has known Fearne for 25 years, said he has never seen her ‘more positive or happier’, prompting Fearne to agree and reply: ‘Yeah I feel great!’
