Leigh Francis, the 53-year-old television personality, has revealed a scratch he sustained during a DJ performance at the Sound Bites festival in Syon Park, London. The injury occurred when an overexcited fan became too enthusiastic while Francis was mingling with the crowd.
Francis shared the incident on TikTok, showing a red scratch near his eye and along his temple. He explained that a female fan, overcome with joy, reached out with her hand and her long thumbnail caused the mark. He noted that it could have been worse if it had hit his eye.
The post drew reactions from followers, with one calling it 'not acceptable' and another making a light-hearted joke about the incident. The following day, Francis provided an update, referring to the scratch as a 'war wound' and emphasizing the dedication required in the DJ scene.
Regarding his television career, Francis previously stated that he has not pitched any new TV show ideas recently, citing the sensitivity of modern audiences. He expressed uncertainty about returning to shows like Through the Keyhole or Celebrity Juice, but left the possibility open if a suitable idea arises.
