Will Young claims he was victim of homophobic abuse by London bus driver
British singer Will Young has alleged he was called a ”poofter” by a London bus driver.
The 38-year-old singer took to Twitter earlier today (05.01.2018) to blast a bus driver, who he’s alleged directed homophobic slurs at him, while he also claims to have been told by Transport for London (TfL) that CCTV footage of the incident has already been erased from their system.
Homosphobic abuse from a tfl bus driver calling me a poofter. Reported it ten minutes after it happened and TfL been amazing. However bus companies on route say video footage gone as too late – quite how someone complains and actually GETS footage I am unsure

TfL doing everything they can but I am appealing to @TfL @SadiqKhan to help me find the driver to ensure he doesn't abuse others . PLEASE DM me

TfL been great at reacting to my tweet . All I need is an apology – no witch hunt . To be called a poofter isn't the nicest thing and it reminds me what a vile thing prejudicial language is to try and shame others. I can take action, many young people can't
