I still don’t know how it happened.“I know why we took the piss out of him, because I’d watched him on Match Of The Day missing several goals, so a sketch about him being unable to put a piece of paper into a bin worked.
But when Dave walked out from makeup [in blackface] that night, I still don’t know why one or both of us …. or someone there didn’t say what the fuck is happening?”Skinner continued, reflecting on the response: “I can’t look back on it now without seeing it as bullying.

It wouldn’t be too much to say we’re both deeply ashamed.”Back in 2020, Lee had said he never received an apology from Skinner and Baddiel for the sketch.In the interview, Frank Skinner added: “We’ve never done the big public apology. Something doesn’t sit well with me.
