Craig David brands Keith Lemon a 'bully' as he claims Channel 4's Bo' Selecta was 'racist' and 'ruined his life'
Craig David has hit out at Keith Lemon after branding him a 'bully' and claiming his show Bo' Selecta was 'racist'. The R&B singer, who rose to fame in 1999, was amongst the celebrities whose caricature featured on the comedy sketch show alongside Mel B, David Beckham and chat show host Trisha Goddard.

But when he sat down to watch with his mum, Tina, he felt confused. Francis wore a daft head of David’s vague likeness and portrayed him as an idiot with a colostomy bag. David was 21.
However David doubts the apology was sincere. He said: "We can all apologise when on the back foot. The moment of expressing his apology seemed very coincidentally timed. Has he reached out to any of the people he did on his show? He hasn’t reached out to me. Has he gone to communities to talk about bullying? Racism? And to be educated? You can only ask him.
In 2009, the music star moved to Miami and began a focus on exercise and healthy living in a bid to get away from the caricature of an unhealthy David on Bo' Selecta! However, David's strict workout became an unhealthy obsession and in 2018 a severe back injury forced him to take a break.
