Leigh Francis says he 'doesn't regret' his controversial portrayal of black stars Craig David and Trisha Goddard on Bo Selecta - but reveals what he would change about the past
The comedian, 51, is best known for his divisive alter-ego Keith Lemon , who became known for his outlandish and misogynistic comments on ITV show Celebrity Juice .
Leigh's comedy series Bo Selecta was also pulled from Channel 4's streaming service in 2020, over its portrayal of black celebrities including Craig David and Trisha Goddard. The removal, following the death of George Floyd and the rise of the Black Lives Matter movement, led Leigh to tearfully apologise for causing 'any upset' and said he 'didn't realise how offensive it was back then.' Leigh carried out impressions of Craig and other celebrities on the show, including Mel B and Trisha Goddard, and there were many instances of blackface and apologised last year.
