'Move on from complaining', Keith Lemon tells Craig David as Bo Selecta feud continues two decades later

Keith Lemon asked Craig David to put their fight over and ‘move on’ from the comedian's imitation of him on Bo' Selecta!

After telling Craig David to stop griping about his Bo Selecta mimicry, Keith Lemon put David at risk of reviving their long-running dispute. Leigh Francis, better known by his stage name Keith, created and acted in the well-known Channel 4 sketch shows from 2002 until 2009. It featured him making fun of a lot of celebrities, including Trisha Goddard, David Blaine, Kelly Osbourne, and Michael Jackson, and also dressing up in blackface to imitate Craig David.

Craig, 41, has previously described how Keith's imitation had harmed his career and mental health, causing him to take a break from the limelight for many years.

The 7 Days singer said last month that Keith's apology seemed "insincere," and Keith has since responded, “If he feels like others are always bringing it up, the only way it will ever leave him is if he stops talking about it”.


Since they allegedly bumped into one another at Fearne Cotton's wedding in 2014 and "hugged it out", Keith, expressed his surprise that Craig is still impacted by the imitation.
