Mr Forsyth is a close friend of Mr Sunak and served as his best man at the prime minister's wedding.
In a statement delivered in front of her home, Ms Stratton said she deeply regretted joking with other Number 10 aides during a rehearsal for a later-dropped plan for filmed Downing Street press conferences.
"The British people have made immense sacrifices in the battle against COVID-19. I now fear that my comments in the leaked video of 20 December may have become a distraction against that fight," she said."My remarks seemed to make light of the rules, rules that people were doing everything to obey. That was never my intention. I will regret those remarks for the rest of my days and offer my profound apologies to all of you for them.
It is understood that both the Conservatives and Labour are solidifying their operations ahead of the next general election - which must occur no later than January 2025.
