Mr Munday, a Ukip supporter, said yesterday that they had been left shocked by Ms Atkinson's "outrageous" comments, which were captured by the BBC team while she spoke to local people and party members in Ramsgate.
She said: "So that was good. We've got Fa who's, I dunno, she's a ting tong from somewhere."
Ms Atkinson insisted the comments were naive rather than malicious and said she was "incredibly sorry" for offending the couple.
She said: "I deeply regret the words I used and am incredibly sorry. It was poor judgment and naivety on my part rather than words spoken with any malice. I am devastated that I have caused hurt and apologise profusely to both Mr and Mrs Munday."
