SOUTHAMPTON'S superstar Craig David has been invited to perform at the White House by one of his many American fans - George W Bush.

The White House has asked Craig to sing at their annual Christmas party for inner city children.

It is proof of just how far 21-year-old Craig, whose mum still lives in the area, has come.

This time three years ago he was still living in Southampton and DJing in local clubs - now the most powerful man in the world is inviting him into his home.
