===Craig David=== [[Craig David]] is one of the main ''Bo' Selecta'' characters. His catchphrases are "Proper Reet Bo" and "Proper Bo, I tell thee!". He is portrayed as having a very large chin, with a beard made with a pen. Craig has a very strong [[Yorkshire dialect|Yorkshire accent]]. He is known for always singing his name. He carries around a plastic [[peregrine falcon]] on his wrist named "Kes", possibly as a reference to [[Kes (film)|the film of the same name]]. Kes was apparently bought off a man in [[Huddersfield]] who had a dog with one leg. He calls Kes a "bastard", often when calling her to return. Craig also wears a beanie hat, and his iconic headphones from his ''[[Born to Do It]]'' album cover. In the first series, a segment entitled "Craig David's Life Story" is featured, showing events such as David visiting the doctor to be fitted with a [[urostomy]] bag (which he often fails to wear at night and wets the bed), and attempting to break the American market but catches a flight to [[Mallorca]] by accident. For the second series, each episode segment follows him on his nationwide UK tour alongside his band (who hate him), in which he meets [[Michael Jackson]], goes dating, goes for a walk, meets the real Craig David (depicted as an impersonator), and performs in front of a live audience. In the third series, he attempts to break America again with his new single "Soda Pop", which fails to chart. Along the way, he makes a music video and gets himself a makeover from [[Mel B]]. He appeared in ''[[Bo! in the USA]]'', in a weekly segment in which he tries to seduce [[Holly Valance]] and earn himself a bronze swimming award. As time went on, Craig's fall from fame was chronicled as he started making appearances on shopping channels and in ''Cha'mone Mo'Fo' Selecta'' he was reduced to working in a call centre. Leigh Francis stated in an interview with ''[[Metro (British newspaper)|Metro]]'' that the character was based on Billy Casper from ''Kes'', rather than the singer Craig David.
