TV presenter Jamelia accuses fellow train passenger of 'prejudice' over first class challenge 'as she is black'
Jamelia, the television presenter, has said she was singled out by a fellow passenger to show a first class train ticket because she is "young and black".
The former Loose Women panellist and singer, 36, said she was in the first class carriage on a train with her 11-year-old daughter when she clashed with another traveller.
In a lengthy series of posts on Twitter, Jamelia said the unidentified female passenger was left as "red as a beetroot" when challenged.
