SOUTHAMPTON superstar Craig David is being sued for millions of pounds by the man who claims to have discovered him in 1998.

Paul Widger, who secured a record deal for the teen singing sensation, has taken his case to the High Court amid claims that he was dumped in breach of contract.

The pair are understood to have met at a studio in the summer of 1998 and having spotted David's star potential, Widger claims he struck a management deal that was to net him 20 per cent of the singer's earnings over ten years.

Craig David was unavailable for comment.
