Leigh Francis says sorry for caricaturing black stars on Bo’ Selecta

Leigh Francis has issued a tearful apology for portraying black celebrities on the sketch show Bo’ Selecta.

‘National (racist) treasure’ davidwalliams next hopefully 👇

Weird timing him having a guilt trip about his performances, it's almost as if he's distancing himself from the current race discrimination debate. Really think he'd have said that if all this wasn't happening?

Can he apologise to me, a fellow redhead ( well, I was once. ) for bringing gingers into disrepute ? We've suffered enough.

Pathetic. He was lampooning celebrities of all races. How is he supposed to imitate Craig David or Mel B without wearing a 'black' mask?

But he’s keeping all the money he made from doing it.

WHEN I SOMEONE GOING TO CANCEL MAGGIE BLACKAMOOR

Proper not bo I tell thee

Up next - Russ Abbott & See You Jimmy hats

Never thought he would lose his balls!

Never apologise to these loons.

Sorry his career is fuked you mean...

Going down like a weak er...tion

Yeah. I never understood that shit.

I certainly don’t speak for all black folk but I never thought him putting on a mask was comparable to blackface or in any way racist. He didn’t play up to stereotypes or caricatures. It was his own take of celebs of the time and not racial imo

So it's OK to caricature white celebrites but not OK for celebrities who are black. Got it.

🤣

Degenerate anyway

Self-flagellation the New_Summer_Look 2020 😁

Shamone motherfucker

Can he apologise for caricaturing white people aswell then?

Next it will Ant and Dec, David Walliams, Matt Lucas, and David Baddiel all apologising for doing the same. But I doubt it.

It he’s not sorry for caricaturing white stars? So basically we are entering an era where everyone, and what you can say about anyone is judged based on the colour of their skin, and this is apparently to defeat racism.

Apologies are not enough, he needs to sacrifice his child

Awwww well let’s hope that all rap stars follow suite and all apologise for degrading women / encouraging drugs and violence .... works both way this apology bollox ....

Ugh, I used to like him... not any more!

I'm sure he liked his healthy bank balance

The world cannot end quick enough.

FFS

Don't even know what that is? But I feel victimized and traumatized by his actions and I need a safe space! *lights flare to signal virtue!

what a deep-seated racist society and mentality

Bandwagon arrives again ! Hes as Fake as his apology !

U what?!

Thousands gather in London for George Floyd protestStar Wars actor John Boyega among those taking part in Hyde Park Black Lives Matter protest Ваши твитты очень полезны для меня I can almost guarantee that a certain type will be more offended, that he's shouting, has his hood up and is wearing gloves, than the murder of another human being. ❄️❄️ You just know the Venn diagram of people complaining about social distancing at the BlackLivesMatter protests and those who took part in drunken congas on VE day is a perfect circle.

New Girl star Lamorne Morris felt he was 'betraying' black community playing cop‘I felt really weird playing a police officer. I really did’ And yet accepted the role and money? All this displays is that he will sell his principles for the right price. Why? There are also good black cops all over the US, men and women who support the black communities as well as doing their jobs. Surely this comment by a well paid actor is a disrespect to them working class black cops? Pathetic attention seeking nobody. Unlike actual black police officers who are heroes.
