Tourette's campaigner John Davidson ‘deeply mortified’ by ‘involuntary tics’ during Baftas

The 54-year-old could be heard shouting a racial slur as Sinners actors Delroy Lindo and Michael B Jordan presented the award for special visual effects during the awards ceremony at London’s Royal Festival Hall.
