Myles Stephenson, 28, hit back at Ellie Goulding’s mum Tracey Goulding after she made a comment about his appearance co-hosting Good Morning Britain today. Tracey tweeted in reference to the I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! star: "Didn't notice it so much on jungle but what's with #myles #gmb trying to sound like a black dude??” The Rak-Su singer, whose dad is Jamaican, fumed in response: "Please tell me what a 'black dude' sounds like Trace? "I'll be sure to tell my 'black' side of my family that I sound like them! They'll be happy! 2020 and racism already starting.” Myles then posted a screenshot of his exchange with Tracey in view of his 78,000 followers with the caption: "Say anything you want about my presenting ability but I will not tolerate racism one bit! "Especially when I’m just trying to brighten peoples day & ESPECIALLY when you’re saying that me & my ethnic background sound a certain way!"
