JAKARTA: Indonesian fans have apologised for deluging British actor-comedian Stephen Fry’s Instagram with angry messages after mistaking him for a badminton judge.

The Indonesians turned their ire on Fry, 63, after their team was withdrawn from last week’s All England Open because of a coronavirus case on their plane.
