Leigh Francis

Vernon Kay takes us on the hysterical musical journey of TV Presenter, Actor, Writer, BAFTA Award winning Comedian and someone he's happy to call a friend, Leigh Francis.

Born in Beeston, Leeds – Throughout the week, we’ll learn how and why Leigh became better known as his alter-ego Keith Lemon and all about his fearless and funny shows including “Bo’ Selecta!”, “A Bear’s Tale” and “Celebrity Juice”, and find out what made him weep in “The Keith and Paddy Picture Show”. Also, he shares some astonishing stories about touring along with The Spice Girls in America, Body Popping and falling in love with Paddy McGuinness in “Let’s Dance For Comic Relief”, recreating the scene in “Dirty Dancing” - spoiler alert, he wasn’t Patrick Swayze! In the Spring he is going on his first ever live tour as himself, Leigh Francis, called “My First Time”, where he’ll be joined by his favourite characters from Keith Lemon, Bear and Avid Merrion to David Dickinson and Ant and Dec.
