Former Morcheeba singer sues band's founder

Former Morcheeba singer Daisy Martey is reportedly suing bandmate Paul Godfrey for sexual harassment, after being sacked last year.

Former Morcheeba singer Daisy Martey is reportedly suing former band-mate Paul Godfrey on grounds of sexual harassment. Martey was sacked from the band last year after she became unwell before a concert, which had to be cancelled.

According to the Sun, Martey's lawsuit alleges a number of incidents of improper conduct on Godfrey's part, including touching her bottom, attempting to kiss her and groping her breasts twice. Godfrey is also accused of calling the singer a "cheap tart", and saying that she was "an uneducated working class girl with a posh voice and middle class aspirations".

No comment from Godfrey as yet.
