There was also absolutely nothing racist about this portrayal of Craig David. It was a surreal parody of celebrity culture. Craig David is definitely not from the north of England and doesn't have a kestrel. However, I would say the parody of Trisha crossed the line. Anyway, he was picked on by Leigh Francis because he was a successful celebrity, like all the other celebrities mocked by shows like Dead Ringers, Star Stories, Alistair McGowan, 2DTV etc etc. He should really take it as more of a compliment. As for being bullied. This is not bullying at all. I assume if CD is so fixated on this, he hasn't really experienced real bullying.

The race card is so ridiculous. That show parodied more white ppl than black ppl.

Let's be honest, what else has he got to talk about? His recent huge hits? Nope. He's gunna keep flogging the dead horse

Thing is he took it way way too seriously. No one was realistically a huge fan of Leigh Francis and a load of other celebrities also got ridiculed on the series too and didn't perceive its impact in the same way . When the show ran it's course and got decommissioned, no one really cared after it went away as viewing numbers had dropped and it had run its course and people moved on from it. He was overly concerned about it when in reality I don't actually think it had any effect on his record sales or music career because people still liked his music. What had happened is he had just made some poor choices in terms of the songs and albums he was making, and the producers he worked with and had not had the same success as he earlier music which meant he had become less popular musically, and he was wrongly attributing it in some way to bo selecta.

Craig David is a brilliant artist but also has hubris. Simon Amstell ripped him on buzzcocks too

The ridiculous way he referred to himself in the third person back then was almost as bad as the incorrect and bizzare way he says "satire" now.
