Craig David mask looks nothing like the kid from kes, the mask is clearly made to look like an exaggerated version of Craig David ,even with the hair & beard aswell .
So I can see why Craig David was offended,plus it ruined his career . The Michael Jackson one had exaggerated lips and was in bad taste , and he wore a black mask for Oprah.
A white person wearing dark makeup or a black or brown mask ,is never going to go down well. Looking back it's so cringy.
The Mel B one looked like Jim Bowen yeah , we'll agree on that . And that's probably why Mel B wasn't offended because there was nothing racist about it.
And it was so far from what she actually looked like,that's probably why she found it funny . It was a ugly mask, a cheap tacky wig etc .The joke was just the terrible leopard print dress ,and the exaggerated rough Leeds accent.

Those people should be ashamed of themselves for speaking to Trisha's children like that.
Especially because I doubt that they knew much of what was going on with her Mother at the time with the whole Bo Selecta stuff.
