American TV star Duane 'Dog' Chapman has apologized for repeatedly using the word 'n**ger' in a private phone call to his son.

The star of U.S. TV series Dog The Bounty Hunter allegedly told his son to break-up with his black girlfriend during a taped conversation which was leaked online.

Chapman was forced to issue an apology after bosses at A&E television suspended production on his reality series.

He says, "My sincerest, heartfelt apologies go out to every person I have offended for my regrettable use of very inappropriate language.

I am deeply disappointed in myself for speaking out of anger to my son and using such a hateful term in a private phone conversation."

A spokesman for A&E says, "We take this matter very seriously. Pending an investigation, we have suspended production on the series. When the inquiry is concluded we will take appropriate action."
