Craig David catches the eye in a neon green jacket

He was rumoured to be appearing on this year’s Top Of The Pops Christmas special.

And Craig David appeared to confirm speculation that he will be performing on the festive special on Monday, as he arrived at the studio in London.

The singer, 39, certainly stood out from the crowd in a vibrant neon green jacket, which he styled with a hooded black jacket and distressed jeans. 

Craig styled his outfit wit ha pair of Yeezy trainers and ensured he followed coronavirus guidelines by wearing a mask as he left the building.

Also seen leaving the venue was X Factor star Ella Henderson and Gogglebox star KSI, who were both dressed down for the outing in sweatpants.

The festive special will air on Christmas Day later this month and will be hosted by Fearne Cotton and Clara Amfo.

It’s no surprise Craig has been asked to appear, as he is one of the UK’s most successful male recording artists, having bagged 20 Top 40 singles and seven Top 40 albums as well as numerous awards throughout his 20 year career.

And it appears he is still in high demand as he reportedly sparked a huge bidding war between record labels who are desperate to sign him earlier this year.

The 7 Days hitmaker, who’s debut album Born To Do it was released 20 years ago, made a huge chart comeback in recent years, with record bosses apparently keen to cash in on his success.

Craig made a phenomenal chart resurgence in 2015 and has since gone on to score six Top 40 singles as well as two successful albums which reached No1 and No2 in the charts.

The Sun reported that he has now completed his two album deal with record label Insanity and is now back on the market ahead of his next album.

A source told the publication: ‘Craig was blown away by the reaction to his comeback. But he felt like he wanted a change of tack after completing the deal with his last label.

‘He’s working on a new album now which he plans to release next year and is exploring exciting options on who to work with for it.

‘Craig is a free agent at the moment and all of the major record labels have shown interest.’ 

The insider went on to say that the vocalist is in a position to negotiate the ‘best deal’ and could even demand a ‘seven-figure fee’ given at how well he has done of late. 

MailOnline contacted representatives of Craig for comment.
