Grovelling ... letter

A TROLL who set up a Facebook page mocking the disappearance of Madeleine McCann has written a grovelling apology to her parents.

Student Jack Tims, 17, sparked fury after we revealed he created a page titled: "If I Get 1 million Likes I'll Let Maddie Go."

But the shop worker claims he was shocked by the revulsion it caused.

He said it was a "stupid, naive" prank which got out of hand ? and that he never meant to hurt Kate and Gerry McCann, whose daughter vanished in 2007 aged three.

Sicko Tims, of Herne Bay, Kent, said: "I was chatting to a friend about jokes comedians come out with and created the page. When it got in The Sun it hit home how much I distressed people." He then whinged: "I received threats and this could cost me friends. I only hope the McCanns can forgive me."
