Leigh Francis: Keith Lemon star makes rare TV appearance as himself as he announces new live tour

Leigh Francis left fans stunned  as he ditched his  ‘Keith Lemon’ alter ego for a TV appearance on Tuesday. The comedian, from Leeds, spent 14 years hosting ITV2’s Celebrity Juice as the loud and brash character, but has now made a rare appearance as himself.

On Tuesday night’s (June 20) episode of the BBC’s The One Show, Leigh joined hosts Alex Jones and Jermaine Jenas, to officially announce his 2024 Live UK Tour. In contrast to his alter ego, he seemed quieter and donned a less eye-catching outfit in double-denim with  a blue shirt and matching jeans.
