While John Davidson was away in London attending the Baftas ceremony, his home was burgled.

John, a Tourette's campaigner whose life story inspired the critically-acclaimed movie "I Swear," found himself engulfed in controversy when his condition caused him to involuntarily blurt out the N-word while his Sinners co-stars Delroy Lindo and Michael B Jordan were onstage presenting a prize.

Upon returning home to Scotland, John faced further agony as he discovered that his beloved bicycle had been stolen by opportunistic thieves, as revealed by the film's director Kirk Jones.

Kirk expressed his dismay, stating, "One minute he's standing, receiving applause and appreciation, and feeling included and welcomed. The next minute, he's having to leave the auditorium, and so many people are upset, and it's a social media storm."

He continued, "And he finally gets home to Scotland the next day, and I suspect because thieves knew that he was in London - because they could see [he would be at] the awards - they went to his house, broke into his shed, and stole his bike."

"He doesn't drive and he loves his bike. And it was all locked up in the shed, and it was broken into … any day in his life can turn out like that."

John left the ceremony early and later apologized for the incident, admitting he felt "deeply mortified." The BBC issued an apology for airing the moment, and Bafta bosses confirmed they are launching a "comprehensive review."

In an interview with The Telegraph, Kirk expressed his disappointment, stating, "I think John was let down on many, many levels. And I think the fact that that [tic] went out for broadcast was perhaps one of the worst ways in which he was let down on the night."

He added, "If you just imagine for a second that that was not broadcast, then suddenly the problem was restricted to everyone in the room. And Bafta could write to everyone in the room, and they [could have] said: 'We wanted to apologize again, we understand, this, that and the other.'

"They could have done that the next day to all the guests, and no one would have known that it happened … You wouldn't have the clips."
