Lorraine Kelly says she 'should have complained' over Bo Selecta portrayal

Lorraine Kelly has spoken out and said she 'should have complained' about her portrayal on Bo Selecta. The TV presenter was played by actor Leigh Francis, better known as Keith Lemon, during the Channel 4 show in the 2000s.

Her comments on the programme come after Celebrity Juice host apologised for playing black people in the same series. Using masks, the white actor and presenter created exaggerated versions of Michael Jackson, Craig David and Spice Girl Mel B.

In June 2020, amid the Black Lives Matter protests in response to the killing of unarmed black man, George Floyd, in Minneapolis, Leigh spoke out after doing a lot of "talking and learning" and said he was "deeply sorry."
