But in a statement Sir richard, 67, said he had “no recollection of the incident”, which came after he had invited Joss and her band to his Caribbean home after they played the Go Green festival on nearby Tortola in June 2010.

A spokeswoman for Virgin Management said: "Everyone appeared to enjoy their time on the island. Richard has no recollection of this matter and neither do his family and friends, who were with him on the island at the time.

"There would never have been any intention to offend or make anyone feel uncomfortable in any way and Richard apologises if anyone felt that way during their time on the island."

Virgin also issued a statement from Stone's father, Richard Stoker, who was on the island at the time.
