<p>The actress was condemned for not wearing the flower on The Graham Norton Show, and said she is worried about another upcoming pre-recorded programme in which she will be seen “probably” not wearing one again.</p>
<p>Sienna, 33, said she “meant no disrespect” but said “you can’t please everyone”.</p>
<p>Speaking about her appearance on the BBC One chat show, the star told Good Morning Britain: “I had a poppy on funnily enough and I was wearing a dress that was like crepe paper basically and as I was going on I looked down, it was tearing at the dress and they’d said my name and so I whipped it off.”</p>
<p>She added: “It’s unfortunate that it’s been made such a huge kind of … it’s really snowballed apparently and of course I don’t think there is anyone in this country that isn’t grateful and respectful and never would want to cause offence and wear a poppy all the time but people kind of focus on things enough to pick at the negative. It seems a little extreme.</p>
<p>“Also, there’s another show I’m worried about coming up because we pre-recorded it, where we’re probably not wearing poppies but some of these things are filmed weeks before they air. But you can’t please everyone and I meant no disrespect. Of course I didn’t.&#8221;</p>
<p>There is an annual controversy surrounding the wearing of Remembrance Day poppies with high profile names speaking out about why they choose not to wear one.</p>
<p>ITV News anchor Charlene White wrote a blog post about her decision not to wear a poppy on screen.</p>
<p>In the 2014 post, which she posted a link to on Twitter again this year, Charlene wrote: “I support and am patron of a number of charities, and due to impartiality rules, I am not allowed to visually support them all whilst presenting news programmes.</p>
<p>“That includes things like a red ribbon for World Aids Day, or a purple band for Bowel Cancer Awareness Month.</p>
<p>“Both these and many more charities do great things in the UK, but I’m not allowed to give them exposure on screen.</p>
<p>“So I feel uncomfortable supporting just one charity above all others, namely The Royal British Legion, but I fully support my colleagues who do choose to wear the poppy on screen.”</p>
<p>She said she wears one on Armistice Day, and added that her father served in the RAF, and her uncle served in the Army.</p>
<p>Channel 4 newsreader Jon Snow has said in the past that there is an “unpleasant breed of poppy fascism out there”.</p>
