David King says he is embarrassed and ashamed after being charged with drink driving.

“I’ve not only let myself down but more importantly my family, friends, workplace and the public who I put at risk.

“I accept full responsibility and any repercussions which result from this.”

King has stepped down from hosting Fox Footy’s upcoming Trade Lowdown show and will face court at a later date.

“I know I’ve lost a lot of respect and will do everything I can to earn that back,” he said.

King’s employer, Fox Footy, said in a statement: “We are aware David King was recently charged with driving under the influence of alcohol.

“Fox Footy does not condone this behaviour and takes the matter very seriously. We know David deeply regrets his actions. The matter now sits with the judicial system.”
