Ronnie O'Sullivan beat Joe Perry 6-3 to reach the Welsh Open final where he will play Neil Robertson.

The two English players shared the first four frames before O'Sullivan hit a 124 clearance to edge ahead in the semi-final in Cardiff.
O'Sullivan, a three-time champion, then made breaks of 94 and 88 to lead 5-2 before winning with a 78.
Australia's Robertson beat Northern Ireland's Mark Allen 6-4 to reach his second final, to be played on Sunday.
Robertson, the 2007 champion, had trailed 2-0 in the best-of-11 frame match, but won the crucial third frame after a foul by Allen, of Northern Ireland.
The world number three then won five consecutive frames to lead 5-2 and withstood a comeback by Allen to reach the final.
Speaking after the semi-final, O'Sullivan, 40, compared Robertson to cinematic cyborg law enforcer RoboCop.
"I have watched him through the UK Championships and he never showed emotion through the whole tournament, " O'Sullivan told BBC Sport, ahead of the best-of-17 final.
"It shows what an unbelievable professional he is. He is Robocop, he is like the new Steve Davis or Stephen Hendry."
Robertson, 34, believes O'Sullivan is the favourite for the title.
"I don't mind flying under the radar," he added. "It is nice, I can be the underdog."


Donald Trump's new national security advisor has been appointed in the shadow of a controversy after his predecessor lasted just three weeks in the job.

The choice has been well-received by both analysts and politicians - even some, like Senator John McCain, who have been critical of many of President Trump's decisions.
But who is Herbert Raymond McMaster?
Lieutenant General HR McMaster is a decorated military official, having served in command positions during the Gulf War in the early 1990s and with the Central Command during the Iraq war in the early 2000s.
He was awarded the silver star for valour for his actions. In Afghanistan, he headed an anti-corruption and transparency task force.
But he is also known for his academic interest in history - and applying that intellectual approach to the battlefield.
Lt Gen McMaster graduated from the United States Military Academy in 1984, but went on to become something of a scholar of military history.
He earned in MA in history from the University of North Carolina in 1994, and taught history at the military academy for two years, before being awarded a PhD in American history in 1996.
That same year, he published a popular military history of the Vietnam War, "Dereliction of Duty", which was deeply critical of the decision-making process in Washington during the era.
The New York Times review of the book credited Lt Gen McMaster as having "doggedly waded through the records of every meeting of the Joint Chiefs" and noted that he concluded that the war was ''lost in Washington . . . even before the first American units were deployed".
That academic mindset and intellectual approach to military command impressed many people during this time in Iraq and Afghanistan.
He is widely labelled as a deep military thinker: Time magazine said that he "might be the 21st Century Army's pre-eminent warrior-thinker".
In 2005, he led an operation at Tal Afar in Iraq which was widely held as an example of success in a difficult war.
He seized the town, cutting it off from outside fighters - and then slowly but surely worked his way through the city districts, leaving troop outposts in place - and not allowing the enemy to return, in stark contrast to earlier US strategy.
Lt Gen McMaster's approach was lauded by President George W Bush and Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice.
Writing at the time for the Daily Telegraph, Tim Collins, a former SAS officer and journalist, said Lt Gen McMaster - then a colonel - had taken "a refreshingly unconventional approach".
"By using academics and Middle East experts as advisers, he sought to educate his men about the intricacies of Tal Afar. Successfully, it would seem, for his forces won over at least some of the disillusioned Turkmen population at the same time as isolating the relatively small cadre of die-hard extremists," he wrote in September 2005.
Yet despite attempts to replicate the strategy, Lt Gen McMaster himself told the New Yorker magazine the following year that constant fresh consideration was the key.
"It is so damn complex. If you ever think you have the solution to this, you're wrong, and you're dangerous. You have to keep listening and thinking and being critical and self-critical," he said.
He also spoke about some of the tragedies he witnessed during the operation in a 2007 interview with the Sunday Times, in which he spoke of the "child abuse" of al-Qaeda training young men, through often brutal means.
"I saw the most unimaginable horrors," he said. "Things you can't even imagine another human thinking of. In one case, the terrorists murdered a young boy in his hospital bed, booby-trapped the body, and when the family came to pick up the body they detonated the explosives to kill the father."
Sir Max Hastings, writing in the Guardian in 2007, called Lt Gen McMaster "the most successful unit commander to have served in Iraq" and Pulitzer Prize winner Thomas Ricks noted that his "influence already outstrips [his] rank".
He was pulled back to Baghdad in 2007 to be part of the informally-titled "Baghdad brains trust" - along with several other military academics - tasked with coming up with a fresh approach.
In the year since, he has applied his famous deep-thinking approach to his work at the Army Capabilities Integration Centre, which he began in 2008. He also served as the commander of the Army's Manoeuvre Centre of Excellence.
During this period, he was promoted up the chain of command for his contributions to his current rank, a three-star lieutenant general - the second-highest rank ordinarily achievable.


Former One Direction singer Zayn Malik is making his first foray into TV with an hour-long drama about a boy band.

Malik is working on the NBC show, titled Boys, with TV producer Dick Wolf, the Hollywood Reporter said.
"Zayn certainly brings an authentic point of view to this world where kids are catapulted into fame at a dizzying speed," NBC Entertainment president Jennifer Salke said.
Malik, 23, left the globally successful boy band last year to go solo.
Boys will focus on the formation of a boy band which goes on to huge success, but also looks at the pressures it puts on the members.
It may draw on the experiences of One Direction, who formed on X Factor in 2010 and went on to achieve mass popularity and success plus a cluster of awards including six Brits.
Since going solo, Malik has had hits including Pillow Talk and Like I Would but has struggled with performing live, pulling out of a Dubai concert on Tuesday because of what he calls "extreme anxiety".
The singer, who will be one of the show's executive producers, said: "Dick Wolf is a legend and the opportunity to work with him and NBC to create a compelling drama series is awesome."
Writer and producer Wolf is most famous for the hugely successful and Emmy-winning Law & Order TV series.
However Simon Cowell, who signed One Direction after The X Factor, said he was disappointed Malik did not approach him with the idea first.
"I think he should have come to me with it, if I'm being honest with you," Cowell told Entertainment Tonight.
"I do actually believe that when they've got these ideas, bearing in mind where we started, they should actually come to me."

An airline has thrown a passenger off a flight after he accosted Ivanka Trump, the eldest daughter of President-elect Donald Trump, on a plane from New York.

"Your father is ruining the country," the man shouted as the aircraft prepared for departure from JFK airport in New York, a passenger told TMZ.com.
Witnesses said Ms Trump ignored the man and distracted her children with toys.
JetBlue airlines said in a statement that "the decision to remove a customer from a flight is not taken lightly".
"If the crew determines that a customer is causing conflict on the aircraft, the customer will be asked to deplane, especially if the crew feels the situation runs the risk of escalation during flight," it said.
Shortly before the Palm Beach, Florida-bound flight's departure, a New York university professor tweeted that mother-of-three Ms Trump and her husband Jared Kushner were aboard the plane "flying commercial".
"My husband chasing them down to harass them," Matthew Lasner tweeted.
According to TMZ.com, Mr Lasner's partner, Dan Goldstein, shouted: "Why is she on our flight? She should be flying private."
But Mr Lasner tweeted that "my husband expressed displeasure in a calm tone, JetBlue staff overheard, and they kicked us off the plane".
JetBlue's statement added that its "team worked to re-accommodate the party on the next available flight".
Palm Beach is home to Mr Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate, where he plans to spend the coming holiday season with his family.


Search giant Google is looking for help to improve the way its products appear on search sites.

An advert on its careers website is seeking a manager for its search engine optimisation (SEO) team.
Candidates should be able to use technical tricks and techniques to ensure Google's services are prominent in results people get when they search.
The job is aimed at helping Google get its services noticed on rival search engines such as Bing and Duck Duck Go.
In the advert, Google says the post will involve driving "organic traffic" to improve the standing of web pages featuring its products and services.
Candidates need a background in computer science or "equivalent practical experience".
The ad also specifies that potential candidates should be familiar with the intricacies of the ways websites work and how they can be improved so users find them useful, link to them and recommend them.
Optimising web pages so they appear prominently in search results involves changing the content of pages and their hidden elements to ensure they are correctly indexed by the software companies use to sample and summarise them.
Google declined to talk about the job advert, saying it did not comment on its recruiting processes.
Whoever gets the job will be tasked with helping Google ensure its services are prominently displayed on rivals' sites as well as its own.
Globally, Google still dominates in search - but in some regions, it is facing increasing competition from other companies.
In North America, according to net analysis firm ComScore, Google has a 67% share, followed by Microsoft's Bing at 20% and Yahoo at 13%.
In Europe and China, Google's market share is above 90%.
Some smaller search engines, such as Duck Duck Go, are proving increasingly popular because they collect less data about visitors, or pledge to protect privacy.


A lorry fire forced the closure of the M5 motorway in both directions in Gloucestershire.

Police and fire crews were called to the scene after the lorry, carrying hay bales, caught fire just before midday between junctions 13 for Stroud and 14 for Thornbury.
The fire has now been put out and the northbound carriageway reopened.
But the southbound carriageway will stay closed overnight to allow repairs to take place, Highways England said.
The agency said signed diversions were in place, and advised road users to plan ahead and allow plenty of extra time for their journeys.
Drivers travelling south have faced delays of at least 30 minutes as they approached the area, before joining diverted traffic.
An HE spokesman said: "The fire is out now and has been thoroughly damped down.
"But, the road surface under the vehicle has been badly damaged, so there will be work going through the night to repair that."
He added it was hoped the southbound carriageway would be fully reopened in time for the rush hour on Monday.
Gloucestershire Fire and Rescue said four appliances were called in to tackle the blaze which involved 42 tonnes of hay.
Posting from the scene on Twitter, West Mercia Police assistant chief constable Chris Singer, said: "Smoke still billowing on M5 southbound road totally closed both ways near Stroud this could last a long time I think!"

Arsenal got absolutely battered for most of Sunday's 1-1 draw in the north London derby against Tottenham - their fans must have been wondering what was happening, because it was embarrassing at times.

The Gunners were extremely poor and were outplayed for long periods at home, but they still picked up a point and actually created enough chances to win the match because of the brilliance of Mesut Ozil.
I would not even say Ozil had a particularly good game but he got his side out of jail with his cross for Kieran Gibbs' equaliser.
Ozil had already provided two balls from a free-kick and a corner that Olivier Giroud should have scored from - he hit the bar with his first header and sent the second one wide.
Tottenham knew how dangerous he was because they stopped him from getting on the ball in open play until the final 15 minutes, but his magic touch was still able to rescue Arsenal from what would have been a very bad defeat.
Ozil had already made 47 chances this season going into Sunday's game, the most in the Premier League alongside West Ham's Dimitri Payet. That works out at an average of almost five a game in each of his previous 10 appearances.
In the first half at Emirates Stadium, however, the German did not even have a sniff of creating an opening in open play.
That was because, from the off, Spurs had the perfect game plan. They identified Arsenal's best two players as Ozil and Alexis Sanchez and they stopped their supply at source, pressing high to stop the Gunners from building from the back.
Any time Ozil, Sanchez or Santi Cazorla did get the ball, they had two or three men on them straight away and they took them completely out of the game. Ozil dropped deep to get the ball and could not do any damage from there.
It was only in the last 25 minutes that Ozil began to get any time in possession in the Tottenham half, and he made it count.
I think he is at his most deadly when he picks up the ball when an initial attack has been cleared. The defence pushes up and Ozil is just waiting for them to do that so he can deliver it into the space they leave behind.
I have seen it happen time and time again and it was a similar story on Sunday when he picked up the ball and spotted Gibbs's run to the far post.
It was his 10th assist of the campaign, four more than anyone else, and he set a Premier League record for making a goal in six successive games in the same season.
Some people still seem to have the perception that Ozil is lazy, or a luxury player, so it is worth highlighting again how hard he actually works.
He does more work for the Arsenal team than any other midfielder or forward bar Aaron Ramsey and covers a lot of ground right across the pitch.
I think it is easy to get the wrong idea because of his style on the ball. Someone like Alexis Sanchez looks busier because he does a lot of one-twos and plays with more urgency.
It is great to play it quick and early, either one-touch or two-touch like Sanchez often does, but there is nothing wrong with being different.
Ozil has the imagination to hold on to it a little bit longer because he knows the picture will change if the defence are anticipating a one-two or an early ball, and that might leave him some space.
So he is not lazy, either off the ball or on it. Even if he was, what he brings to the team means his team-mates would not mind.
When I was in Tottenham's midfield with Rafael van der Vaart, or a few years earlier when we had Dimitar Berbatov up front, I was prepared to work harder just to get the ball to them - Rafa would create a lot of chances every game and Berba would stick a lot away.
It was not just me. The whole team were prepared to do more work than them because, collectively, we knew those players were going to win us games.
The really brilliant thing about Spurs for most of the match was that they did not allow him into the game, and it was one of the reasons Arsenal found it so difficult to get going.
I played in 11 north London derbies for Spurs and I would have been devastated walking off the Emirates pitch with only a point on Sunday.

Tottenham completely dominated, but Arsenal were always going to get at least one chance. I always felt Spurs would need that second goal, and so it proved.
It was so close to being a complete performance from Mauricio Pochettino's side - in terms of their pressing, their aggression and their creativity it was absolutely spot on.
The only thing they were lacking was a killer instinct when they were 1-0 up and creating further chances. They need to be able to put those kinds of games to bed when they have bossed them.
Pochettino will be hugely disappointed to only draw the game but it was still a massive statement of intent by his team.
Everyone at the club will want to stay under the radar so they probably will not appreciate me saying this on Match of the Day 2, but I am certain they will finish in the top four this season.
Media playback is not supported on this device
A lot of that is down to Pochettino's training methods and his willingness to use young players. It means they have got energy and pace all over the pitch. They look as fit and strong as any team I have seen this season.
Defensively they look solid - the only worry they had earlier in the season was over Harry Kane's form, but now he is banging in the goals again.
Spurs have been getting better every week and it looks to me like they are close to the peak of their powers. They deserve to be in the top four.

British scientists have made a world-first breakthrough in the diagnosis of tuberculosis.

Researchers in Oxford and Birmingham say they can isolate different strains of the disease using a process called genome sequencing.
It means patients who may have waited months to get the right drugs can now be diagnosed in just a few days - so they have a greater chance of recovery.
Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt said the breakthrough "will save lives".
Cases of TB in the UK have begun falling recently, but England still has one of the highest rates in Europe.
The scientists who made the discovery say genome sequencing allows them to identify the DNA of different samples in little more than a week.
Speedy diagnosis means patients can begin their recovery much quicker and also reduces the chances of the infection being spread.
Consultant microbiologist Dr Grace Smith said: "We're able to provide information on the species of the organism and the drugs to which it may be resistant if it's TB."
Public Health England says it is the first time anyone in the world has applied the technique on such a large scale.
The breakthrough comes after experts warned that a rise in drug-resistant strains of TB was threatening to derail efforts to eradicate the disease.
A new study found one in five global cases of the disease is now resistant to at least one major treatment drug.
Health secretary Mr Hunt said:  "If we can show that using the most modern technology can help reduce the time it takes to identify who has got TB and get them onto a treatment programme, we can move closer to what we all want, which is to eradicate TB from the shores of the country."


Inverness CT manager Richie Foran has urged players who are suffering from mental health issues to make use of a new support network.

Support Within Sport has been set up by Hampden Sports Clinic to help players with problems such as depression.
A survey of 600 SPFL players found that 64% said either they or team-mates had experienced mental health issues.
"It's not a weakness, if you're having issues like depression, to make that call," Foran said.
"I've been around to players' houses while I was captain at Inverness because I could see that they were really down in the dressing room, they had long-term injuries, so I stopped around at night to make sure they were okay.
"I've also brought other players to meetings when they were having issues, to get them help. It's my responsibility to look after the wellbeing of my players."
PFA Scotland are supporting the new scheme and have provided help to members suffering from a range of mental health issues.
"One of the big things we need to do is work with the managers and coaches, not only to provide them with support, because they're three or four games away from being on the back pages with people wanting them sacked, but training them to spot the signs," said PFA Scotland chief executive Fraser Wishart.
"If someone's misbehaving on the park or all of a sudden has a rush of temper off the park or in training, sometimes you just dismiss that but there might be a reason behind it."
The support network will be available to male and female players in Scotland, as well as coaches and managers, with the intention to "de-stigmatise" mental health issues.
"Our point is to say, there is support, and for families and fellow players and coaches to recognise that within their own club there might be someone who is struggling," said Hampden Sports Clinic chief executive and SFA medical consultant Dr John MacLean.


Do you remember the day we saved the world?

When COP President Laurent Fabius smacked down his gavel on December 12, it signalled that agreement had been reached at the UN climate conference in Paris on one of the world's most intractable environmental and economic problems.
After years of onerous, cantankerous and often tedious talks, somehow all 196 participants, like a large collection of cats, had agreed to be herded in the same direction.
They had agreed to keep global temperatures "well below" 2C and "to pursue efforts to limit the temperature increase to 1.5C above pre-industrial levels".
This was a globally significant moment and the celebrations lasted long into the night.
Four months later and almost 170 countries are poised to ink the agreement at UN headquarters on Friday.
The momentum seems to have been maintained since the heady days of Le Bourget in December.
Perhaps it has something to do with record global temperatures in the intervening months, or the recent evidence about the lack of Arctic sea ice? Maybe it's the growing worries over Antarctica?
For now at least, most politicians and most scientists are on the same page. They agree that to have any chance at all of stemming the worst warming, the deal must enter into force. And quick.
That will only happen when at least 55 countries representing at least 55% of global emissions of carbon dioxide sign and ratify the pact, indicating that they agree to be bound by the rules.
For some this will involve a debate before parliament, for other countries it will mean new legislation.  Some countries like Palau, Switzerland and the Marshall Islands have already taken these steps so will be able to sign and join on 22 April.
The US and China have indicated that they too will do everything they can to join the agreement within the year.
Together they represent almost 40% of emissions so there is a possibility that if enough countries can be persuaded, the deal could come into effect in 2017 or 2018.
President Obama would love to make sure that his successor can't welch on the deal, especially if the next US leader is a Republican.
Some scientists worry that the rush to put Paris into practice could mean enshrining in international law some worrying ideas.
Keeping temperature rises below 2C and striving to keep them as close to 1.5C will require more than dramatic cuts in carbon emissions.
According to Dr Oliver Geden, from the German Institute of International and Security Affairs, the world will need to remove huge amounts of the gas from the atmosphere.
The vast majority of scientific scenarios to keep below 2C require negative emissions by around 2070, he says.
One idea involves growing crops that capture carbon, burning them to make electricity and then burying the resulting CO2 permanently.
"Those people who will sign the treaty in New York, I suspect that most of them have never heard of negative emissions," he told me.
"They don't have any idea of the amount and requirements of it. They have only heard that 2C is still feasible."
Dr Geden says that the world would need to dedicate land equal to 1.5 times the size of India to keep below 2C. He says it is "science fiction".
"It is magical thinking, it might happen but as long as we can't see that it works on scale, we should not assume that it will be there to save us."
Even if the leaders who sign on Friday are not fully aware of what the long-term implication of the plan is, the act could ultimately work to everyone's benefit.
People make things real by believing in them. If enough savers believe that a bank is about to collapse, and they rush to withdraw their money, they make the idea the reality.
The same can be said of the Paris agreement.
Even if the contents aren't enough to keep temperatures anywhere near 1.5C, if enough people sign up for it and keep the momentum going forward it could become a self-fulfilling prophecy.
Markets and investors will be the key. If they believe that the extraction of fossil fuels is going to be limited they will not want to stay in that game. The recent collapse of one of the world's leading coal companies, plus the announcement by Saudi Arabia that it sees its future away from oil, all are significant signs on the road.
According to Prof Hans Joachim Schellnhuber, a long-time participant in climate negotiations and adviser to the German government, things can actually change really quickly if people believe that something is inevitable.
"While 1.5C seems almost impossible, you never know how quickly the industrial revolution happens," he said.
"If all the investors decide to not put all their money into fossil fuels, it can happen in 10 years."

Compulsory Welsh lessons in school are not working, a UKIP AM has claimed, calling for a more voluntary approach.

Caroline Jones raised the issue of the Welsh language commissioner's call for "radical change" in education to reach a target of 1m Welsh-speakers by 2050.
The UKIP AM said she disagreed with Meri Huws's call for compulsory Welsh medium education for under-sevens.
First Minister Carwyn Jones said Welsh should be promoted more as a vocational skill than an academic subject.
Ms Jones, a regional AM for South West Wales, told the Senedd on Tuesday: "It has been compulsory for every school child in Wales to learn Welsh since 1999.
"Yet despite this the numbers of Welsh speakers has fallen," she said, adding that she was learning Welsh herself.
"Polls suggest that the majority of people are opposed to compulsory teaching," Ms Jones claimed.
"Is it time that we accepted that maybe the 'stick' approach is not working and, rather than dictating everyone should learn Welsh, can we maybe instead be making it easier for those who really want to learn?"
In response, the first minister said there were "practical issues" with the idea of making all primary schools Welsh-medium in terms of recruiting teachers.
But he added: "I firmly believe it's right that our national languages should be compulsory until the age of 16.
"There are issues about the way in which Welsh has been taught in English-medium schools, particularly for the short course.
"I don't think we can say hand-on-heart that we have created confident Welsh speakers in our English-medium schools.
"Clearly that's not the case, which is why the new curriculum will be important, and which is why we're be moving away from the idea that Welsh is solely an academic area of study, moving more towards it being seen as a vocational skill."
Mr Jones said Welsh would still be available for those who wanted to study it academically, but he felt the vocational path would be "a good way of improving the way Welsh is taught and learned in the English-medium schools".


The brother of a Welshman on board the crashed EgyptAir flight says the last two days have been "overwhelming" as the family await more news.

Geologist Richard Osman, 40, who grew up in Carmarthen, was on flight MS804 en route from Paris to Cairo with 66 passengers and crew when it vanished.
His brother, Alastair, from Swansea, described Mr Osman as warm-hearted.
Egypt's army spokesman said wreckage and passengers' items have been found 180 miles (290km) from Alexandria.
European Space Agency satellites spotted an oil slick in the area where the flight had vanished but the organisation said there was no guarantee it was from the missing plane.
Alastair Osman, 36, a biochemistry student at Swansea University, described his brother as a "workaholic, full of principles and the type of person you could admire".
"He was a very hard worker. He was always like that," he told BBC News.
"He was a great brother. He was admirable, someone you could look up to."
Mr Osman's wife Aureilie, 36, gave birth to their second daughter Olympe three weeks ago.
His brother said: "It's sad that he has been deprived of a potentially wonderful future and they've been deprived of a wonderful future with him.
"You have to try to remain strong."
Mr Osman is the eldest of four children of the late Dr Mohamed Fekry Ali Osman and wife Anne.
He has three siblings; Alastair, Phillip, 34, and Anna, 32, who grew up in south Wales after their father moved there from his native Egypt to work as a consultant in ear, nose and throat surgery.
Mr Osman was a pupil at Queen Elizabeth Cambria School in Carmarthen and later studied geology and has a masters from Camborne School of Mines in Cornwall.
He is a mining company executive for Centamin at Jersey, where he was living with his family, and he has previously worked in Australia and Egypt.
His friend Steve Ellyatt told BBC Jersey he roughly knew Mr Osman's schedule and, when he heard about the EgyptAir flight, sent a text message to Mr Osman's wife to ask after him.
He said: "She then came back, and said 'unfortunately Steve he's on the plane which has just come down".
Mr Ellyatt explained how the couple had recently bought his house although Mrs Osman had returned to Paris to give birth while Mr Osman was "backwards and forwards" due to work commitments.
"It's dreadful," he said.
Prof Kip Jeffrey, head of Camborne School of Mines, said: "We are deeply saddened by this terrible tragedy, and our thoughts and sincere sympathies go out to Richard's family, friends and colleagues at this difficult time.
"Richard is fondly remembered from his time studying at CSM as a genuinely lovely man, quiet but dedicated, and for his warmth towards his friends and real passion for his work."


The funeral of a seven-year-old girl who was shot by her father in a village in Sussex has taken place.

Mary Shipstone was shot twice in the head outside her home in Northiam on 11 September as she returned home from school with her mother.
Her father, Yasser Alromisse, killed himself after the shooting. Mary died in hospital the following day.
Her mother Lyndsey Shipstone described her as a "fun, bright and inquisitive little girl".
The private service in St Mary's Church was followed by a private committal service in Beckley churchyard.
Mary's mother, Lyndsey Shipstone said: "It has been a month since our beautiful Mary was taken from us but the pain is still as fresh now as it was then.
"Mary was such a fun, bright, inquisitive little girl.
"Losing her so violently has left us in a state of trauma and grief. Her absence feels like a void that cannot be overcome.
"I will never forgot the kindness we have been shown over the last few weeks."
The Reverend Rod White, who has been helping to care for Ms Shipstone since the shooting, said: "The community have really come together in their love and support of the family.
"I know there have been very good neighbours who have been there with them throughout this difficult time."
At the scene
By Juliette Parkin, BBC South East Today reporter
Members of Mary's family followed her small coffin, covered in white, into St Mary's Church before the funeral started at 11:00 BST.
During the service, which was relayed by speaker to people outside the church, Reverend Rod White, spoke of Mary's "strong-willed streak" and "her bright-eyed energy".
He seemed to struggle at times as as he led tributes to the seven-year-old who was baptised at the church last December.
As well as the celebration of the life of a "caring and lively" little girl, there's a real sense of deep sadness here today over the fact that it was tragically cut short.
Speaking after the shooting, Ms Shipstone said the family had moved to Northiam from a women's refuge in Camber Sands, after she separated from her violent husband.
Ms Shipstone said: "As soon as I put my front door key in there was a terrible bang behind me and I turned round and Mary was on the ground.
"I saw her father with the gun in his hand pointing at Mary's head and he fired it a second time, and then he retreated into the car.
"I just dropped down to Mary and dragged her round the front of the house away from the car.
"I was screaming for help and I was telling the neighbours that he had a gun and Mary had been shot."
A fund to help children affected by trauma has been set up in memory of Mary.
Money from the fund will support Rye-based charity The Music Well, which offers music therapy to children.
Ms Shipstone said: "She will never leave our thoughts but at the moment every day is a struggle for us as we try to come to terms with our grief."


Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho praised "fantastic" midfielder Paul Pogba after the world's most expensive player made his first start in the 2-0 win over Southampton.

The £89m signing from Juventus played the full 90 minutes, 1,616 days after his previous appearance for the club.
He had more passes (71), touches (103), shots (4) and won more duels (20) than any other United player.
Mourinho said the France international had "such an ego, such a personality".
Zlatan Ibrahimovic scored both goals for United, to take his record to three Premier League goals in two games. He also scored in the Community Shield.
After the game Mourinho was asked about Pogba, the 23-year-old midfielder who left United for about £1.5m in 2012 to Juventus, before returning this summer.
His first touch for the club since playing in a 5-0 win at Wolves in March 2012 saw him concede possession.
Mourinho told BBC Sport: "It just shows the personality of the player. His first match, his first touch was a bad one and led to a counter-attack and a free-kick and an opportunity for the opponent but he was not affected. The boy is fantastic."
Pogba, whose last game was France's Euro 2016 final defeat by Portugal, ran 11.2km, the third most of any player.
"He could have played 30 minutes more, he could have played extra-time, no problem," added Mourinho.
Pogba said: "It's a great feeling. I was relaxed, didn't have nerves and played my game. I came here to win, that is what I always wanted. It's a top club.
"The first ball, I lost it, but got used to it. After that I felt better, touched the ball and played with the team.
"We dream big. United are a big club. I know we will do big things this season."

Australia should consider adopting a four-day working week or a six-hour working day, a political leader says.

Richard Di Natale, head of the left-wing Australian Greens, argues reducing hours would boost productivity and allow workers more time with family.
Mr Di Natale said he was not suggesting a specific model, but workers would need to be guaranteed adequate income.
Australia's two major parties have not commented on the proposal, but it has drawn criticism from an economist.
In the dark days of the 19th Century, many workers in industrialised nations considered themselves lucky if they got Sunday off. The achievement of a 40-hour week with Saturday and Sunday off for many was a major landmark for the labour movement.
But some have tried to go further.
In 2008, about 17,000 government officials in the US state of Utah started working four 10-hour days in a bid to cut costs. The experiment didn't last: the five-day week was reinstated in 2011. Other US states have also toyed with the idea.
The Gambia recently scrapped its four-day working week, which had been designed to allow people more flexibility on Fridays.
But what is the ideal working week, and could the four-day week become more widespread?

Mr Di Natale said he wanted to start a national conversation on the future of work.
"It's time we recognised there are big questions we're not asking ourselves. What sort of society do we want to be?" he told the Australian Broadcasting Corp (ABC).
"We have some many people in this country who are working more hours than they should."
He said Australia could follow other countries in trialling a social security safety net to guarantee adequate income.
Economist Saul Eslake said he did not support the proposal, comparing it to France's 35-hour working week.
"The French are good at many things, but economic management is not one of them," he told the ABC.
"Their economy has grown at barely more than 1% per annum over the past seven years."


The iconic name Brontosaurus, once used to describe a family of huge dinosaurs, has been resurrected after being killed off more than a century ago.

In 1903, scientists decided Brontosaurus was a more complete specimen of a different dinosaur.
But many more specimens of plant-eating sauropod dinosaurs are now known, revealing Brontosaurus to be different enough to warrant its own name.
The results have been published in the open access journal PeerJ.
The name Brontosaurus goes back to the so-called Bone Wars of the late 1800s, when rival fossil hunters Othniel Charles Marsh and Edward Drinker Cope raced new dinosaur names into the scientific literature.
In their quest for new specimens, Marsh and Cope were drawn to the rich fossil beds of the American west.
Marsh's team found two long-necked sauropods. He named one Apatosaurus ajax (Apatosaurus means "deceptive lizard") and the second skeleton Brontosaurus excelsus (Brontosaurus means "noble thunder lizard").
Shortly after Marsh's death, a team from the Field Museum of Chicago found another dinosaur skeleton similar to both Apatosaurus ajax and Brontosaurus excelsus, but with features deemed intermediate between the two. This led the scientists to conclude that Apatosaurus and Brontosaurus were just different species within the same scientific genus.
Apatosaurus took precedence because it had been named first so, Brontosaurus excelsus became Apatosaurus excelsus.
But the name Brontosaurus is still known by several generations of schoolchildren. It's not entirely clear why the name stuck, but it may be to do with its origins in the Bone Wars, when there was intense public interest in the discovery of new dinosaurs.
It may also be because of the evocative meaning: "thunder lizard".
Now, Emanuel Tschopp from the New University of Lisbon in Portugal and colleagues applied statistical techniques to calculate the differences between species and genera of diplodocid dinosaurs (the large-scale grouping that includes Apatosaurus as well as other long-necked plant eaters).
It is only with new finds of dinosaurs similar to Apatosaurus and Brontosaurus in recent years that it became possible to undertake a detailed investigation of how different they were.
"Until very recently, the claim that Brontosaurus was the same as Apatosaurus was completely reasonable, based on the knowledge we had," said Mr Tschopp.
To their suprise, Brontosaurus emerged from the analysis as a distinct dinosaur.
"The differences we found between Brontosaurus and Apatosaurus were at least as numerous as the ones between other closely related genera, and much more than what you normally find between species," explained Roger Benson, a co-author from the University of Oxford.
Thus, the researchers argue that it is now possible to resurrect Brontosaurus as a genus, different from Apatosaurus.
Prof Paul Barrett, of London's Natural History Museum, who was not involved in the research, told BBC News: "This paper is the most comprehensive study produced to date on the evolution of Diplodocus and its closest relatives and sets out some really interesting new ideas on how these animals are related, and how they should be classified.
"The author finds a number of ways in which the original specimens of Brontosaurus and Apatosaurus can be separated from each other and uses these to resurrect Brontosaurus as a separate entity.
"The conclusions seem entirely reasonable to me, as they are well argued and well supported, and it will be interesting to see how how quickly these suggestions are adopted by the community."
Marsh's case was not helped by making an incorrect reconstruction of Brontosaurus' skull because of the limited material available at the time. He had assumed it was boxy, like another long-necked dinosaur from the western US known as Camarasaurus.
But research in the 1970s showed that Apatosaurus - and thus "Brontosaurus" - would have had a slender, horse-like skull. This gave rise to a popular myth that "Brontosaurus" was simply an Apatosaurus with the wrong head.

A bank manager has told how two aeroplanes full of banknotes were used in a cash exchange being investigated in a major Nigerian corruption case.

The quantity of cash, totalling 1.2bn naira ($3.8m; Â£3m), was so great that it took 10 days to count it, Sunday Oluseye told the court in Abuja.
His testimony forms part of a case linked to a multi-billion dollar corruption scandal.
President Muhammadu Buhari has promised to tackle corruption.
"I got worried when I saw the huge amount of money conveyed by the aircrafts that day," Mr Oluseye told the court, in comments reported by Nigeria's Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), a government anti-corruption body.
He told the court that most of the money was in 500 and 1,000 naira notes.
The evidence was given as part of a money-laundering case brought by the EFCC against Abiodun Agbele, whom the body names as a close ally of the governor of Ekiti State, Ayodele Fayose.
The EFCC says the case is linked to a wider investigation into Nigeria's former national security adviser Sambo Dasuki, who has been charged for an alleged multi-million dollar fraud in which government funds earmarked to fight Boko Haram were stolen.
Mr Dasuki and Mr Agbele both deny the charges.
Corruption is endemic in Nigeria and so far the EFCC has only managed to secure a handful of convictions.


Bolton Wanderers vice-chairman Brett Warburton has resigned following the recent takeover of the club.

Dean Holdsworth's Sports Shield consortium and Ken Anderson's Inner Circle bought the club from Eddie Davies earlier this month.
Trevor Birch and Terry Robinson have also left the club, having helped facilitate the sale.
Bolton had a winding-up petition closed at the High Court on Monday after they paid their tax bill.
Warburton said the change of ownership and death of former chairman Phil Gartside last month prompted his decision to leave.
"It has been a privilege to serve on the Bolton Wanderers board for more than 25 years," Warburton told the club website.
"Eddie's decision to sell his shares, coupled with Phil's sad passing, seemed to mark a watershed and the right time for me to stand aside and resign as a director.
"I would like to wish both Ken Anderson and Dean Holdsworth every success as they strive to forge a successful future for this great football club."
Bolton, beaten 6-0 by Bristol City on Saturday, are bottom of the Championship and 12 points from safety with eight matches remaining.


Watford have signed Newcastle United full-back Daryl Janmaat on a four-year deal for an undisclosed fee, reported to be £7.5m.

The 27-year-old spent two seasons with the Magpies, scoring four times in 77 games, but had not featured in the Championship club's last three matches.
The former Feyenoord man has been capped 27 times by the Netherlands.
He could make his debut for Walter Mazzarri's side in Saturday's Premier League home game against Arsenal.

In the tense days nearly a year ago when smoke rose around the stricken Fukushima Daiichi power station as if from a battlefield, when hydrogen explosions tore the reactor buildings apart and workers fought for their lives and Japan's future, it seemed as though we might be watching the death throes of the nuclear dream.

In the wake of what is officially classified as one of the two worst nuclear accidents in history, ranking at Category Seven on the International Event Scale (INES), the "electricity too cheap to meter" vision of the 1950s appeared to be turning into a technology too costly to contemplate in terms of the human and financial balance-sheets.
Within weeks, Germany announced it would close all its nuclear reactors, and Switzerland followed suit. Even China, busiest of the new builders, delayed approval for new power stations.
And around the world, opinion poll after opinion poll showed nuclear power losing its lustre.
"Fukushima impacted significantly, firstly on public opinion, and secondly by creating the need to analyse what happened from a technical point of view, to learn lessons and apply them," says Luis Echavarri, director-general of the ONuclear Energy Agency (NEA) of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD).
"I see a clear impact on plans for the future in the sense that there is a certain delay in taking decisions on new power plants - I think that's going to last for three to four years."
The vast majority of the reactors operating before Fukushima are still operating; even Germany stopped short of shutting them all down.
The glaring exception is in Japan itself, where only two out of 54 reactors are currently in operation. Some are shut for good; with others, local authorities have yet to decide whether to permit a restart.
But outside Japan, how does the future look a year on? Will Fukushima mark a full stop or just a comma in the nuclear story?
As always with this issue, the same set of facts produces very different interpretations.
John Ritch, director-general of the industry-backed World Nuclear Association (WNA), believes it has created a small pause - nothing more.
"Fukushima was a setback in terms of public perception and increased timidity on the part of policymakers," he says.
"But we're quite confident that the underlying facts remain the same; and that's what's caused dozens of governments to review their policies for the 21st Century and decide to make nuclear energy a central part."
Central to those "underlying facts" is the need for rapid decarbonisation of global energy to avert dangerous climate change.
Germany, he asserts, will come to rue its decision to pursue that goal through renewables alone.
Tom Burke, founding director of the sustainable development thinktank E3G and a long-time opponent of the nuclear industry, has a very different take.
"What I think will be even more significant [than German-style closures] in the long term is the economic impact," he says.
"The economics of nuclear have always been bad; and because countries such as Japan and Germany in particular are going to drive even harder into renewables, costs are going to come down even faster than they have, making nuclear even less cost-effective."
He also cites blockages in the supply chain, skills shortages and escalating concerns over Iran's possible military intentions as factors set to take nuclear out of the equation.
One thing is clear: even before Fukushima, the real centre of nuclear power was shifting from its traditional heavy users such as France and the US to Asia.
Timeline: nuclear accidents
South Korea has emerged as a major user of nuclear electricity and an exporter of technology; but China is the really big player.
Of about 60 reactors under construction around the world, 26 are in China, with many more set to follow.
There are observers who quietly applaud China for its apparent capacity to build reactors on time and on budget, while European projects at Flamanville in France and Olkiluoto in Finland flounder in a miasma of escalating costs and stretched deadlines.
Tom Burke is not among them. He points to the low building standards that contributed to the heavy death toll from the 2008 Sichuan earthquake and the recent health scare over melamine in milk products as evidence that China struggles with quality control - a key issue in building reliable nuclear reactors.
"How China is possibly going to create quality control mechanisms of a standard that exceed the Finns or the French is beyond me," he says.
"So what you're basically doing if you're in a country such as the UK is you're putting your future carbon policy in the hands of Chinese quality control inspectors, because if China drops another Category Seven incident, nobody's going to be able to run reactors."
The UK and many other countries are - at least on paper - pushing ahead with plans to build new reactors as part of a package aimed at curbing global warming and increasing their energy security.
However, a new trend has emerged in the last six months or so, with France - the biggest nuclear nation in Europe - announcing plans to extend the lives of existing reactors rather than build a big fleet of new ones.
In the US, licences for two new reactors were granted in February, the first since 1978 - underwritten by a vast $8bn (Â£5.1bn) in loan guarantees from the public purse. But the new build number is dwarfed by the 60-odd old ones that have been granted 20-year stays of execution.
This is bound to have an impact on other countries' programmes. If fewer reactors are being built, there is much less experience from which to learn; less learning makes it harder to build them quickly and cheaply.
With France, for example, constraining its building programme, will that increase costs for the UK?
You can also argue that on safety grounds, this is the wrong strategy: if new designs are safer than old ones, as their publicity would have us believe they are, would not the safest thing be to replace old with new - a kind of nuclear "cash for clunkers"?
Here, the industry gives conflicting messages. During the WNA's news briefing for reporters prior to the Fukushima anniversary, one official listed the increasing safety features of new reactor designs, while another described them as partly "marketing spin".
For John Ritch, the supposedly enhanced safety features of the so-called Generation 3+ reactors coming on to the market, such as the Westinghouse AP-1000 or Areva's EPR, are not really relevant to Fukushima.
"What Fukushima really represented was a failure of imagination," he says.
"You didn't need to tear the station down and build it again with AP-1000s - what you needed to do was spend a few million dollars on sea defences.
"If you live in Japan, you have to anticipate a tsunami, and they didn't do a good job of thinking through the threat - a major requirement is to have backup cooling and they didn't do that; they failed to capture it for years and years."
WNA says that regulators and operators have learned the lessons of Fukushima by putting their reactor fleets through safety reviews and "stress tests".
The processes ask whether there are risks that have not been imagined possible that now have to be considered - both natural risks, like floods, or of human agency.
It asks whether an electricity supply can be maintained in the event of a complex sequence of failures, and whether staff are sufficiently trained to deal with an event of Fukushima-like magnitude.
US stress tests have thrown up issues that are being addressed by spending about $100m across the country - roughly $1m for each reactor.
On the new vs old argument, Mr Ritch uses a car analogy: new cars might be safer than old, but still your old one might be safe enough, and economics might dictate that you do not change it.
Whether the analogy works for people living around the controversial Fessenheim station on the Franco-German border, built on a geological fault line, or near the Vermont Yankee station in the eastern US where maintenance standards were low enough to allow a cooling tower to collapse in 2007, I am not so sure.
Nevertheless, the new designs are beginning to be built, in China as well as France and Finland, and maybe the UK. WNA believes other developing countries are set to join the nuclear club, with Vietnam likely to open its first reactor by 2018 and Thailand, Malaysia and Indonesia not far behind.
All have experienced tsunamis in recent years, and how the public would react to the laying of the foundations is unknown.
The Fukushima accident can be traced back to a number of very different factors, depending on how you do your analysis.
Fukushima: Nuclear power's VHS relic?
Among them is the type of reactor used, a boiling water reactor. Steam pressure generated by excess heat and a reliance on pumps for cooling were among the facets of the design that created the sequence of events we saw.
So has Fukushima accelerated development of the so-called Generation 4 designs, some radically different from anything on the market now and potentially much safer?
The OECD's NEA funds part of the Generation 4 initiative, but Luis Echavarri does not see deployment any time soon.
"My view is that Generation 4 reactors need to be based on recovering credibility with public opinion first, so Gen 3 and 3+ have to be successful first," he says.
"Gen 4 do have the objective of being safer, but there are other criteria too: more economic, less waste, reduced proliferation risk - that's the combination that will make them attractive, but they need 20-30 years to be in the marketplace.
"And if they are to be in the marketplace in 20-30 years' time, then we first need to recover the credibility damaged by Fukushima."
The implication is clear: if the credibility damaged by Fukushima is not recovered, neither will the nuclear industry.
Some of the key things likely to determine whether credibility is restored include building new reactors on time and to budget, effectively cleaning up the Fukushima site and ideally allowing many of the displaced to return home, and developing robust long-term storage for waste.
And above all - no more accidents.

Ballymena United's veteran midfielder Allan Jenkins has left the club.

Jenkins, who made 254 appearances for the club, reluctantly turned down the offer of a new one-year contract because of family and work commitments.
The 35-year-old midfielder has been travelling from his home in Scotland to play for the Braidmen since signing for the club in 2011.
"Having spoken to my family, I have chosen to put my other life, outside of football, first," said Jenkins.
Ballymena boss David Jeffrey paid tribute to Jenkins' service for the club.
"Allan was made an offer of a contract, and we wanted him to stay," said Jeffrey.
"He understandably asked for time to discuss with his family. He spoke to me again over the weekend and we talked about his own job commitments and the additional demands being out on him.
"He has described this as the hardest decision of his life, he spoke of his love for such a massive part of his life."
Jenkins is head of youth development at Stranraer while he also wants to spend more time with his eight-year-old daughter.
The Scots scored Ballymena's first goal in the League Cup final win over Carrick Rangers this season and his career at the club ended on a high as he helped the Braidmen clinch a Europa League place as they defeated Glenavon in a play-off.
Ballymena released six players last week, including striker Darren Henderson while the club have signed Michael Gault, Stephen McAlorum and Emmet Friars.
Earlier this week they also acquired the services of ex-Dungannon Swifts defender Andrew Burns and Carrick Rangers left-back Steven McCullough, formerly with Glentoran.


Concerns over some students' unions' support for a boycott of Israel are being looked into by the Charity Commission, the BBC has learned.

Seventeen student bodies have endorsed the BDS movement - which calls for an international boycott of Israel over the way it treats Palestinians.
Some Jewish students in the UK say growing support for BDS has fuelled a rise in anti-Semitism on campuses.
The Commission said it would assess the concerns and take action if necessary.
The BDS - which stands for Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions - describes itself as a human rights organisation and criticises Israel for its human rights record.
It says it stands for "freedom, justice and equality", saying it is "inclusive and categorically opposes as a matter of principle all forms of racism" - including anti-Semitism.
Devora Khafi, a student at Queen Mary University of London, is one of nearly 10,000 Jewish students in the UK.
She told the BBC's Victoria Derbyshire programme she felt physically intimidated when other students hijacked a speech at London's UCL given by a former Israeli defence force officer.
She said she was pushed against some doors, jostled and shouted at by protesters.
She says she fears having a connection with Israel has made other people at her university hostile towards her.
"If I ever express a viewpoint in class or on social media, I get comments, in public or private," she said.
"It has been hard. It's been two years of constant fighting for our freedom of speech, our rights, our wellbeing. I've missed deadlines, I've had counselling, I've had anxiety episodes," she said.
Devora believes the BDS movement is adding to a climate of hostility against Israel on campus, which she says has turned her and other Jewish students into scapegoats.
"If you look behind the BDS lens, it calls for these things that are not peaceful. They harm Jewish students and pro-Israel students and they don't support a peaceful, atmosphere on campus."
Support for BDS has been growing rapidly on British campuses.
London's School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS) students' union in London was one of the first to endorse the BDS, after students voted in favour in a referendum in 2015.
The students' union implemented an academic boycott of Israel.
The BBC found 17 students' unions have now passed motions to endorse the BDS boycott of Israel.
They include Belfast, Birkbeck, Brunel, Essex, Exeter, Goldsmiths, Kings College London, Kingston, Lancashire, Liverpool, Manchester, SOAS, Strathclyde, Sussex, Swansea, University of Arts London and UCL.
But it is possible they may be breaking the law by backing the movement.
Since 2010, students' unions have become registered charities, meaning they have a legal duty to represent the interests of their members.
According to guidance, public comment should also be limited to matters that affect the welfare of the union's members as students.
The BBC understands these issues have been raised with the Charity Commission, which is assessing them to determine if any regulatory action should be taken.
A Charity Commission spokesperson said concerns about links to the BDS Movement would be "assessed consistently" and, where appropriate, it would "take regulatory action".
David Holdsworth, from the commission, said students' unions must not be discriminatory towards students "of a particular faith or race".
Isaac Bentata, a student at UCL, said there were times when he didn't feel comfortable expressing his views as a Jewish student.
"During my first week at university all I saw were BDS stickers", he explained.
He said he was accused of being a "Mossad agent" after speaking up at one BDS event.
"As we left the event we saw that we were being followed by this guy and we had to run to the station because we'd heard about him being particularly hostile," he added.
"I thought, 'this is not how I'm supposed to be feeling because I asked questions during a debate at a university'."
Both the NUS and the BDS National Committee declined to comment to the BBC.
Of the students' unions we contacted, only SOAS provided us with a response.
Its co-president, Ayesha Abbasi, said it was a "democratic organisation" and followed "democratic decision-making processes."
"We have had no formal complaints of anti-Semitism or bullying from any Jewish students since the BDS referendum," she added.
Sai Englert, a Jewish PHD student at SOAS and a member of the university's Palestine Society, said: "The idea that somehow supporting BDS, supporting boycott etc is a blanket boycott on individuals I think is very dangerous. It's not.
"It's about saying 'we don't want institutional links, economic links, political links with institutions, governments, companies that are complicit in attacks on rights'."

Work has started to rebuild the world's first purpose-built racing circuit following an additional £1m government grant.

Brooklands Museum plans to restore the finishing straight to how it looked in 1939 when the circuit was in its heyday.
The scheme includes removing a World War Two hangar from the track.
Chief executive Allan Winn said the grant would pay for higher building costs and removal of industrial waste.
In February 2015, the Heritage Lottery Fund provided £4.7m for the restoration.
Brooklands said it was confident supporters and donors would raise the remaining £200,000 needed.
The restored Grade II listed Wellington Hangar - which was used for the assembly of Wellington bombers in the 1940s and later for other industrial purposes - will become The Brooklands Aircraft Factory, where visitors will see how aircraft from biplanes to Concorde were designed, developed and built.
On Monday contractors began laying foundations for a new annexe, the Flight Shed, which will house active aircraft from the museum's collection, such as its Sopwith Camel and Hurricane.
Aircraft will be taken from the old hangar, before it is taken down in August.
Work would then begin to restore the final stretch of the race track to be used again for motoring and aviation activities.
Brooklands opened in 1907 and went on to make motoring history.
For its first 20 years, the racing circuit was the site of many land speed record attempts.
At the start of World War Two the site was given over to use by Vickers-Armstrongs and Hawker aircraft companies.


Exeter head coach Rob Baxter says his side are capable of beating Clermont Auvergne in the Champions Cup, despite their indifferent start to the season.

Last season's runners-up have won only two of their six games so far ahead of Sunday's meeting with the French side.
"At the moment that's the kind of challenge we need.
"We need to look some big boys in the eye and roll over them, and we've got it in us because we've done it before," Baxter told BBC Radio Devon.
Exeter salvaged a draw with Gloucester on Saturday thanks to a late try, but leading players Jack Nowell, Don Armand, Dave Ewers and Phil Dollman are all injured.
The Chiefs have been beaten by Wasps, Saracens and Northampton this season, only winning against bottom side Bristol and Harlequins.
"At the minute Clermont will probably be rubbing their hands together, they'll be going 'Exeter look OK, but if we turn up with our a game we'll just be able to roll then over'," he added.
"I'm kind of looking forward to it, because it's all very well me telling the players to walk around with their heads up and their chests out and take responsibility and get on, but the first person that has to do that is me, and then the rest of the coaches have to follow suit, and we all have to get through it together.
"If this season ends up being a tough season for us so what, but we're going to face it like men, we're not going to run away from it."


Two people rescued in the English Channel after sending a distress signal are being questioned by Border Force officials.

A 15ft motor cruiser was reported in trouble off St Margaret's at Cliffe near the Kent coast at 08:00 BST.
Dover lifeboat and a Border Force cutter were launched and the cruiser was towed to safety.
The Home Office said two European Economic Area nationals were on board the vessel.
A spokesman said Border Force officers were checking the validity of their documents.


A Met Police officer has been sacked for having sex with a vulnerable rape victim whose case he was investigating.

Robert Dawson, a former detective sergeant, had been investigating a rape allegation in 2010 when he began "an inappropriate relationship" with a "vulnerable victim", the Met said.
A misconduct panel found his behaviour breached standards of "respect, courtesy duties and responsibilities".
He was dismissed without notice following a hearing on Wednesday.
The panel concluded the former detective's actions breached the Met's code of professional standards "in such a serious way" that it amounted to gross misconduct.
Mr Dawson, who was attached to the specialist crime and operations team, had been found not guilty of wilfully neglecting to perform duty and wilfully behaving with misconduct at Southwark Crown Court on 12 June last year.


Wales' Sam Warburton has been ruled out for the rest of the domestic season after suffering a medial knee ligament injury against Ulster on 7 April.

Media playback is not supported on this device
But the Cardiff Blues flanker is likely to be fit for the British and Irish Lions tour of New Zealand in June.
Lions head coach Warren Gatland names his tour party on 19 April, with Warburton tipped to be captain.
"Sam has a low grade strain which will put him out for approximately six weeks," said Blues coach Danny Wilson.
"It won't interfere with the Lions.
"If we were fortunate enough to make the second European [Champions Cup qualifying] play-off game, we would envisage him being available for that.
"So he shouldn't have any problems regarding the Lions."
Former Blues, Wales and Lions flanker Martyn Williams expressed mixed feelings over Warburton's injury.
He said: "There will be a concern I'm sure in the back of Sam's mind.
"It's not ideal even though you always look at the positive side of things that there is a break before the tour.
"But Sam Warburton is as professional as they come and I'm sure he'll be fine.
"Ideally as long as he's up and running for that first Test, that's all it's about."
However, another former Wales and Lions flanker, Colin Charvis, said: "It's horrendous timing.
"He's spent a couple of years and then a couple of years building for the Lions and he is in great form at the moment.
"But it's not just Warren Gatland who will look at this - it's the whole Lions management team and will wonder about what they are going to do with Sam Warburton."
Cardiff Blues will be involved in a play-off for a place in European Champions Cup in late May - with the Lions not due to play the first game of their tour until 3 June.
Wilson is confident Warburton - who captained the Lions in 2013 but missed the third Test v Australia with a shoulder injury - will recover in time for the tour.
"You see players who get back quickly if they follow protocol through religiously and get a bit of luck and I am sure that will be the case with Sam, knowing how diligent he will be.
"Sam is very experienced and a good pro. He knows his body and knows if he works hard to get that right he will be back relatively quickly.
"He has been fine today. I think it's relatively good news considering how it could have been."

The scheduling of a tribunal into the behaviour of a Plaid Cymru AM at the same time as his party's conference gives the appearance of political interference, the party's chief executive has said.

Gareth Clubb called for Neil McEvoy's Adjudication Panel for Wales hearing on 2 and 3 March to be delayed.
Plaid's spring conference is being held in Newport on 3 and 4 March.
The Adjudication Panel for Wales has been asked to comment.
Mr Clubb said the clash "could lead to an erosion in public trust" in the work of the panel.
Mr McEvoy, a Plaid AM for South Wales Central and the party's group leader on Cardiff council, is facing a tribunal over allegations he brought the authority into disrepute in his role as a local councillor.
BBC Wales reported in January that the case, referred to the tribunal by the Ombudsman, apparently relates to whether a comment was made to a council officer in a threatening way.
In a letter to the panel, Mr Clubb said the Fairwater councillor "will be speaking at the conference and we would not wish his speech to be disturbed either by his appearance at a panel or by his having to prepare for an imminent hearing".
He said the case "could have been heard at almost any point in November through February on a date that would not have conflicted with a critical date in the political calendar".
Mr Clubb, who has served as Plaid's chief executive since last September, said timetabling the hearing for the day of the conference gave the "appearance of political interference, even if the date clash is entirely coincidental.
"I fear that scheduling Mr McEvoy's case to coincide with our spring conference fails this test and could lead to an erosion in public trust in the work of the panel."
In the letter Mr Clubb suggests it could be seen "that the panel is trying to unfairly prevent [Mr McEvoy's] appearance at conference".
He said an "impartial decision" would rightly determine that the "proposed date is manifestly unfair to Mr McEvoy".
Mr Clubb, who said the dates of the conference had been public knowledge since November, called for the hearing date to be changed so it avoided the conference and the "formal local election period".
Council elections take place on 4 May.


A huge fire has broken out at a packaging warehouse in Essex.

About 100 firefighters are tackling the blaze at the building on Festival Way in Basildon.
Residents reported hearing two "massive explosions" and seeing "plumes of thick smoke" at about 00:20 BST.
Essex County Fire and Rescue Service said the building, near Festival Leisure Park, was "completely alight" with flames also affecting a neighbouring industrial unit.
A spokesman said firefighters had been "working hard to bring the fire under control."
Locals tweeted that large clouds of smoke could be seen above the building, which the fire service said measures about 100m x 50m.
The fire service added: "The officer in charge reports good progress is being made by firefighters tackling the fire."
Essex Police said there were not believed to be any casualties.


A police officer has been jailed for four years for arranging to have sex with a runaway teenage girl whose disappearance he was investigating.

Leigh Brightman, 37, of Tennyson Avenue, Hitchin, Hertfordshire, discovered the girl, who was 15, may have been working as a prostitute.
He then contacted her to discuss sexual services and arranged for a taxi to bring her to his house.
Brightman pleaded guilty to three counts of misconduct in public office.
The teenager told the Old Bailey said she was left feeling "dirty, ashamed, but partly stupid" after her interaction with Brightman in August 2014.
The prosecution said it was not their case the two had sex even though they met at his house and he hid the fact he was a police officer.
He claimed he was handed an escort card, during a troubled period in his marriage, and had no idea he was contacting the missing girl.
She told the court she had "suffered psychologically" and "will always have trouble trusting people" as a result of the encounter.
The jury heard Brightman also had sex with two other women he met while on duty, one in her 20s, the other in her 40s.
The older woman said he was "flirtatious" when they met in 2012 after she reported being harassed by a former partner. They began having sex but when she grew concerned he was not investigating her complaint he begged her to keep quiet.
The younger woman met Brightman as a drug-addicted teenager and was reintroduced some years later. They began to have consensual sex, often when he was in uniform.
Kevin McCartney, defending, said: "There can be no doubt that if he could rewrite or undo what he has done, he would."
Judge Mark Lucraft QC said: "It's clear that when you contacted her, you knew perfectly well who she was, her age and her vulnerabilities."
A Hertfordshire Police spokesman said Brightman "betrayed the trust placed in him by targeting such vulnerable victims".
Brightman also admitted to two counts of downloading indecent images of a child between 2011 and 2014.


Two patients in the United States who are paralysed from the neck down have been able to control a robotic arm using their thoughts.

It allowed one to drink unaided for the first time in nearly 15 years.
The technique, described in the journal Nature, links a sensor implanted in the brain to a computer, which translates electrical signals into commands.
In years to come, scientists want to reconnect the brain to paralysed limbs to enable them to function again.
The project was a partnership by Brown University and the Department of Veteran Affairs, Rhode Island, and the Department of Neurology at Massachusetts General Hospital and Harvard Medical School, Boston.
In 2006 in a previous Nature paper, the team showed that the same neural interface system could be used by a paralysed patient to control a cursor on a computer screen.
The key is a tiny sensor implanted on to the surface of the motor cortex.
Thinking about moving an arm or hand activates neurons in this part of the brain and the electrical activity is sent via a cable to a computer, which translates them into commands.
Both patients in this latest research project were paralysed many years ago by strokes and have no viable movement below the neck.
Video footage shows 58-year-old Cathy Hutchinson using the neural interface to control a robotic arm and bring a flask of coffee to her mouth. It was the first time in nearly 15 years that she had taken a drink unaided.
See how a 'smart hand' is controlled with thoughts alone
She communicates by picking out letters on a board using eye movement and wrote: "I couldn't believe my eyes when I was able to drink coffee without help. I was ecstatic. I had feelings of hope and a great sense of independence."
That was echoed by Prof John Donoghue, a neurologist at Brown University.
He said: "There was a moment of true joy, true happiness. It was beyond the fact that it was an accomplishment. I think it was an important advance in the field of brain-computer interfaces that we had helped someone do something they had wished to do for many years."
This research shows that the part of the brain that deals with movement continues to function more than a decade after paralysis.
Furthermore, the chip continues to function long-term - Cathy Hutchinson had the sensor fitted six years earlier.
The technology is years away from practical use and the trial participants used the system under controlled conditions in their homes with a technician on hand.
Nonetheless, another of the report authors, Prof Leigh Hochberg, said the team had four goals:
Prof Hochberg freely admitted that the third and fourth goals were distant ambitions but they were the "real dream" for people with such disabilities. The researchers say it is impossible to put a timescale on when this might be achieved.
Story Landis, director of the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke, which part-funded the work, said: "This technology was made possible by decades of investment and research into how the brain controls movement.
"It's been thrilling to see the technology evolve from studies of basic neurophysiology and move into clinical trials, where it is showing significant promise for people with brain injuries and disorders."


Full-back Stuart Hogg says it should not be considered a shock if Scotland secure a Six Nations victory over England at Twickenham on Saturday.

They have not beaten England since 2008 and not won at Twickenham since 1983.
But Hogg, who has scored three tries in the campaign so far, says this side is capable of reclaiming the Calcutta Cup.
"We're no longer a team that just turns up, lies down and allows our bellies to be tickled," said the 24-year-old. "We're more than capable of winning."
If Wales beat Ireland in Cardiff on Friday, England could clinch a second straight title by beating the Scots on Saturday, with a tilt at another Grand Slam in Dublin on Saturday, 18 March.
But a Scotland victory would catapult Vern Cotter's side into title contention, with their final game at home to Italy.
Hogg has been in fine form during the Six Nations, and having been named player of the tournament last season he is among the leading contenders to claim the award this time around.
One area of Hogg's game that has come under scrutiny, however, is his defence. The Glasgow Warriors full-back says he expects England to try and put him under pressure.
"Defensively I think I will be challenged," he said.
"There will be high balls from George Ford, Owen Farrell, Mike Brown, they'll stick them on me. I'm fully aware of what's coming. It's just about being mature about the situation and dealing with it.
"You're never going to be the complete player. There are always going to be weaknesses in your game and you could say defence is one of mine.
"When things are going well there is always going to be someone to put you down. I'm fully aware that my defence isn't the strongest but I'll continue to work on it."
Victories over Ireland and Wales have seen Scotland rise to an all-time high of fifth in the world rankings.
Hogg feels teams are now taking notice of Scotland's improvement and is relishing a crack at Eddie Jones' side.
"Slowly but surely we are gaining more respect from teams," he added. "We'll just continue to work hard and hopefully wins will come our way.
"I love playing at Twickenham. Unfortunately we've not been able to get the win here.
"The last time we played here [a 25-13 defeat in 2015], we were winning at half-time and going off the pitch to [the fans singing] the Flower of Scotland. As a proud Scotsman that was terrific.
"Here's hoping there will be a big support down here that will be singing again. We're going to do everything we possibly can to make that happen.
"We're very much in a position to come down here and win, and nothing is going to come in our way."


Great Britain's Justin Rose became golf's first Olympic champion since 1904 by seeing off Henrik Stenson in a thrilling final round at Rio 2016.

Rose, 36, was level with Stenson on 15 under par after 17 holes but the Swede bogeyed the last while Rose sank a birdie putt to win by two shots.
The 2013 US Open champion hit a four-under-par 67 to win on 16 under.
Open champion Stenson took silver with a 68, while American Matt Kuchar carded a 63 to claim bronze on 13 under.
"That felt better than anything I've ever won," said Rose.
"It was the best tournament I've ever done. Hopefully we've shown Brazil what golf is about. I'm glad it was close. Not for my nerves, for golf."
While several other high-profile golfers had decided not to compete at the Olympics, Rose had relished the prospect of becoming an Olympian since the moment the sport's return to the Games was confirmed in 2009.
Such was his eagerness to be part of the experience, he arrived the week before the Olympics officially started to ensure he was part of the opening ceremony.
The Englishman made history by hitting Olympic golf's first hole-in-one in the opening round and started Sunday with a one-shot lead, before shooting four birdies and just one bogey on his outward nine.
Stenson carded birdies in four of his first 10 holes and drew level with Rose when the leader dropped a shot on the 13th.
It looked like a play-off would be needed to separate them but Rose held his nerve on the par-five last, chipping his approach to two feet from the hole, while Stenson's spun away to around 20 feet.
The Swede then raced his birdie putt eight feet past the hole and missed the return to allow Rose the luxury of two putts for victory. He needed just the one.
Former world number one Tiger Woods: "Thrilled for Rosie, Henrik & Kuch, but all golfers in Rio this week should be proud."
Match of the Day presenter Gary Lineker on Twitter: "A Golden Rose. Brilliant from Justin Rose. Could not happen to a nicer guy. Marvellous!"
Wales and Real Madrid footballer Gareth Bale tweeted: "Class Justin Rose."
British golfer Ian Poulter: "Congrats to Justin Rose winning gold for Team GB. Great performance."
Manchester United and England striker Wayne Rooney: "Congratulations to Justin Rose. Gold medal, absolutely brilliant."
British former Formula 1 world champion Nigel Mansell: "Great gold medal win for Justin Rose, chased by Stenson and Kuchar, many congratulations to the GB Team."


Energy companies should compensate customers who have been mis-sold gas and electricity deals on the doorstep, an influential group of MPs has said.

The Energy and Climate Change Committee said the problem of such mis-selling should have been dealt with years ago.
And combined with rising prices, the committee said the industry should examine whether many consumers may have paid too much for their energy.
Industry body Energy UK said the rules regarding sales had been toughened.
The MPs were told that up to 40% of those who switched suppliers on the doorstep did not end up with a better deal.
They also heard evidence that vulnerable customers were particularly targeted in this way.
One firm stated that more than 70% of pre-payment customers who had recently switched to it had been won on the doorstep.
The regulator is currently investigating four of the main energy firms over the issue.
Committee chairman Tim Yeo said energy firms should stop their "Del Boy" sales tricks.
How to switch energy suppliers
"There is mounting concern in Parliament about the doorstep-selling techniques of large energy companies," he said.
"If it turns out that consumers are being persuaded to switch contracts when it's not in their best interests, by salespeople keen to earn commission, then it would only be right for the energy companies to cough up compensation."
Government watchdog Consumer Focus, which has been campaigning for a ban on cold-calling by energy salesmen, said the regulator Ofgem should take a "firm grip" on the market.
"Organised confusion, pressured selling, misleading information - no market should be able to operate like that, and especially not one that provides an essential product that is getting more and more expensive," said chief executive Mike O'Connor.
"Energy firms have had over a decade to get it right, but have failed miserably."
Since electricity supply was privatised in the 1990s, there have been persistent complaints that suppliers have employed salesmen who set out to trick customers on their doorsteps into switching from their existing gas or electricity firm.
The issue was highlighted in May when Surrey Trading Standards obtained the first successful prosecution of a supplier, in this case Scottish & Southern Energy (SSE).
Guildford Crown Court found the firm's salesmen guilty of using deliberately misleading sales material, in breach of the regulations that protect consumers against unfair trading practices.
Despite appealing against the conviction, SSE agreed earlier this month to close down its doorstep sales force.
If the original verdict is upheld, the company faces having money confiscated under the Proceeds of Crime Act.
The comments of the committee came as it published its response to Ofgem's review of the retail energy market, which was published in March.
The regulator said at the time it wanted to "break the grip" of the big six energy firms.
Three of them - British Gas, SSE and Scottish Power - have recently announced increases in their domestic tariffs for both gas and electricity customers.
The committee said it was worried about the apparent tendency of charges to "rise like a rocket and fall like a feather".
The committee also said the huge number of tariffs on offer to customers were designed to bamboozle people.
And it said it too was worried that the big six firms were dominating the market.
Energy UK director Christine McGourty said: "The rules around doorstep selling are tighter than ever, with sales people now required by the energy regulator to leave the customer with a written quote that sets out any likely saving.
"And sales people are also under instructions not to knock on doors that clearly display no cold-calling stickers."


Squatters inside a former power station owned by Oxford University are at risk of being hit by falling masonry, the institution has warned.

The group, known as Iffley Open House, took over a car showroom owned by Wadham College but left after being told to move out.
However, on Sunday, 25 people claimed squatters' rights in The Old Power Station owned by Said Business School.
The university is now seeking a possession order on the building.
It is in the process of developing the site in Osney, west of the city centre, and insists it will not be safe until refurbishments are completed.
Ten volunteers are thought to be working with the homeless people.
The university has been using part of the building to store thousands of items from the Museum of the History of Science and the Pitt Rivers Museum.
It said: "For some time, we have prevented our staff from entering the part of the building which has been occupied by Iffley Open House because of a number of safety concerns, including the risk of falling masonry.
"We will therefore be seeking an interim possession order as soon as possible, out of concern for the safety of the members... we are very sympathetic to the plight of these homeless people who need somewhere safe to live and we will continue to speak to their representatives about how to resolve the situation."
A spokesman for the group, Neo, said: "It's a shame, it would've been nice to spend the rest of winter here.
"It's a nice place. It's quite a strong building. I haven't seen any evidence of falling masonryâ€¦ it's a good excuse for getting us out."
Ambulances descended on the building earlier this month when a man became ill after handling toxic seeds, which some exhibits contain.


Barclays has set aside an extra £600m to meet claims for mis-selling of payment protection insurance (PPI).

It brings the bank's total provision for PPI claims to £8.4bn.
One reason for the increase is the extended deadline for PPI claims, which can now be made until June 2019. On Wednesday, Lloyds announced it was putting aside an extra £1bn
Barclays also reported a 35% rise in third-quarter profits, boosted by its investment banking business.
For the three months to the end of September, pre-tax profits were £837m.
Barclays' investment banking profits were up 40% compared with the same time last year. US investment banks generally, including Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs, have been reporting strong figures as they benefited from an increase in bond trading.
Barclays also earns most of its investment banking revenues in the US and they have been boosted by the weaker pound.
However, profits for the first nine months of the year fell 10% to £2.9bn, driven by the disposal of "non-core" businesses.
Barclays has been selling off non-core businesses, including operations in Africa, European retail banks and some Asian banking operations. Costs associated with that and losing revenue from those businesses have acted as a drag on profits.
The withdrawal from those businesses is expected to be completed next year.
Barclays chief executive Jes Staley said: "Our core businesses are performing well, non-core rundown is approaching the final lap toward closure, we are on top of costs and our capital position is resilient with strong reasons for confidence in meeting our end state target."
Commenting on the results, Laith Khalaf, senior analyst with Hargreaves Lansdown, said: "Barclays continues to pull the old good bank, bad bank routine, though soon it's going to need to find a different tack, because the bad bank is being consigned to the history books.
"Barclays expect to close this side of the business next year, which will be a big step for the bank, and will allow it to fully focus on its core activities.
"Barclays still has work to do, but there's an increasing amount of light at the end of the tunnel. However despite the bank's international exposure, it is still vulnerable to poor economic conditions in the UK, so if we do get a Brexit-induced slowdown, Barclays will feel the burn."


A plaque honouring the founder of one of the country's best known chocolate firms has been unveiled.

Joseph Terry formed Joseph Terry & Co in York in the early 19th Century.
The company would go on to produce some of the confectionery industry's best-known brands, including Terry's Chocolate Orange.
The blue plaque has been installed by the York Civic Trust on the site of the company's first shop and factory in St Helen's Square.
The shop was opened in 1818 by confectioners Bayldon & Berry, which had been founded in 1767.
Mr Terry originally trained as an apothecary and joined the business in the 1820s, taking it over and renaming it.
His descendants would develop the business by moving into chocolate production and opening a new factory in Clementhorpe.
The company eventually moved to a site on Bishopthorpe Road in the 1920s.
The St Helen's Square site was retained by the company as a shop and restaurant until 1980.
The Terry's connections with the city ended in 2005 when the company, then owned by Kraft, moved production overseas.


A Polish man who has recently moved to Doncaster is appealing for help to integrate with the local community.

Maciej Gabryś posted on Facebook asking people for advice on possible jobs he could apply for where he would be working with English people.
The 32-year-old said he also wanted to learn more about the English language, as well as the culture and history of the region and country.
"I am in England, and I want to know England," he added.
More on this and other local stories from across Yorkshire
Mr Gabryś, who previously worked in a bank in Jelenia Góra, Lower Silesia, south-western Poland, came to Doncaster about a month ago
He said he came up with the idea of using social media to help him find work shortly after.
Speaking about the post in the Doncaster Talk group, Mr Gabryś said: "Some are saying good luck, some are sending me adverts for jobs."
He said he hoped the advice would help him to integrate and learn about English culture and history.
In response, people have posted messages of support and suggestions about where he might get a job.
Others offered advice about integration, suggesting going to the pub with English friends or joining a local sports club.
One tongue-in-cheek post suggested he learn about local football teams, but added "don't favour either United or Wednesday" in a reference to the two biggest Sheffield clubs.
Another post praised him for his efforts, adding: "Of course, we excel at learning other languages when we go abroad!"
Mr Gabryś said he was surprised by the the number of people who responded, but said he was very grateful for all the advice he has received.


A former boarding school worker has been jailed for 12 years for sexually abusing a schoolboy in the 1970s.

Kenneth Wells, 78, from Leicester, abused his victim in Sheringham Court School in Norfolk.
Wells was previously handed a six-year sentence in June 2014 for indecent assault against another boy.
Police said Wells had exploited his position of trust and preyed on his victims, subjecting them to "horrendous abuse".
The victim came forward after seeing Wells convicted for the offences at Norwich Crown Court two years ago.
Wells, of Bracken Dale, Leicester, was convicted of the two sexual assaults at Ipswich Crown Court.
Wells was placed on the sex offenders register for life.
His former colleague and headmaster Bryan Greenhalgh, 65, of Suffield near North Walsham, admitted 13 counts of indecent assault and one serious sexual assault, and was given a life sentence at Norwich Crown Court.
Investigating officer Det Con Tristan Coull, of Norfolk Constabulary's Child Abuse Investigation Unit, said: "Both men exploited their positions headmaster and housefather to win over the trust of the boys in their care and subject them to horrendous abuse.
"They preyed on boys who were at their most vulnerable and who at the time of the abuse felt unable to speak out as they appeared to be upstanding pillars of the community.
"Through the positions they held, it would have been the most basic of expectations to protect these children, instead they chose to do the complete opposite."


Comedian Dapper Laughs has apologised after songs on his Christmas album were branded "sexist and offensive to homeless people".

Earlier this week Shelter rejected donations from the star, saying they felt they had to take a stand.
In a statement the comedian said: "I think it's important that if we overstep the mark and cause upset that we apologise.
"I'd like to say sorry to those people who I have upset by my comments."
Daniel O'Reilly became well known on the video-sharing app Vine before being handed a show, Dapper Laughs, on ITV2.
But his lad culture-style comedy has been criticised and plans to donate part of the proceeds of his new Christmas album to the homeless were turned down by Shelter.
One song on his album is called A Walk To The Pub... With A Tramp while another is called Proper Moist.
On Twitter he's sent posts including: "Just gave my number to a homeless woman (cracking boobs tho, not sure if her top was low cut or just ripped) closed with: your place or mine?"
His Christmas album has been posted on Spotify, where artists are thought to make around half a penny every time a song is played.
Shelter has started to receive donations from supporters who agree with the charity's decision to reject any money raised.
The charity's CEO Campbell Robb said in a statement: "The fact that 90,000 children will wake up homeless this Christmas is no joke.
"Dapper Laughs's brand of 'comedy' - which is deeply offensive about homeless people, not to mention many others - is something we felt it was important to take a stand against.
"The support from the public has been overwhelming and we've seen a fantastic rise in donations as a result, meaning Shelter can help even more people this Christmas."
The comedian was recently forced to call off his tour of Wales after nearly 1,000 people signed a petition demanding Cardiff University Student's Union cancel a performance because of its "sexist and inappropriate" content.
His Vine channel has had 144 million views, he has 1.7 million followers on Facebook and another 362,000 on Twitter.
There's also a petition online trying to get his TV show cancelled.
An ITV spokesman said about the ITV2 show: "Dapper Laughs: On The Pull features an established internet comedy character created by Daniel O'Reilly.
"ITV2 commissioned a show in which this character is placed within a recognisable TV format, a dating advice show.
"Comedy is subjective and we realise the content of the show might not be to everyone's taste.
"We regret that any of our viewers were offended.
"However, as with all of our shows, the series content was carefully considered, complied and deemed suitable for broadcast."

Toyota is recalling 1.9 million of its top-selling Prius hybrid cars because of a software fault that may cause the vehicle to slow down suddenly.

The world's biggest carmaker said it had identified more than 400 reports of the problem, with the bulk of them occurring in Japan and North America.
No accidents or injuries have been reported over the defect, Toyota said.
The recall comes weeks after Toyota halted the sale of some car models in the US over problematic seat heaters.
It also deals a blow to the Japanese carmaker, which has seen its reputation suffer following a series of mass recalls in recent years.
The latest recall affects the current generation Prius sedans made since March 2009.
The Prius was first released in 1997 and is one of the most popular hybrid vehicles on the market.
The new software problem can set off warning lights, and will "probably cause the vehicle to enter a failsafe" mode, which will see the car's driving power reduced.
"In limited cases, the hybrid system might shut down and the vehicle will stop, perhaps while being driven," Toyota said.
In 2010, Toyota's share price was hit after more than 10 million of its vehicles were recalled over unintended acceleration issues.
Despite its problems, Toyota is forecasting a record profit for this year because of the effects of the weaker Japanese currency, which makes its cars cheaper abroad.
Last year, it was the top-selling global carmaker, with worldwide deliveries rising 2.4% to nearly 10 million vehicles.
