Craig David

David considers himself Jewish, and keeps up with Jewish traditions and holidays. On 24 March 2010 (World TB Day), Craig David was named the newest Goodwill Ambassador against Tuberculosis, his first activity in this role was to travel to South Africa to learn more about tuberculosis, where he met the people who have beaten the disease, people who are still fighting it, kids who face the threat of tuberculosis every day, and scientists who have dedicated their lives to making tuberculosis history. Craig stated that the mission is to help overcome the social stigma of TB in order to beat the disease.

David was frequently caricatured by comedian Leigh Francis on the British TV comedy show Bo' Selecta!; the show's title itself being a reference to his song, "Re-Rewind (The Crowd Say Bo Selecta)". Although many other celebrities lampooned in the series appreciated the jokes and even appeared in the series themselves, David—the series' most prominently mocked target—did not enjoy the attention, remarking that the public were no longer taking him seriously.
