Keith Lemon - Mel B is highly sexed she'll let me sniff her knickers!

Keith Lemon lets rip on what he finds through the keyholes of the rich and famous.

Keith Lemon is busy admiring a cushion that depicts a scene from Coronation Street when we arrive at the ITV offices. Now is surprised, as we didn’t think he was one to be interested in interior design, but it appears that since taking over as host of Through The Keyhole, the failed businessman from Leeds is more aware of home décor.

The bleached hairdo is gone – he sports a natural russet tone (think Mick Hucknall) these days and he’s got a ponytail. And don’t forget the checked suit, which he thinks makes him look like Toad of Toad Hall.

While he may not look quite like the outrageous Keith of old, the manners are Lemon through and through – revealing what he does in ladies’ beds and putting our tape recorder somewhere he shouldn’t. In fact, he doesn’t stop for breath, especially on the subject of Danny Dyer’s genitalia, so those of a nervous disposition may want to look away now...

You’ve lost weight recently – how did you do it and why?

Have I? Worn the same waist pants – that’s American for trousers – since I was about 18. They were a bit tighter when I came back off me holiday, but I just stopped eating bread for a bit and they fit nice again. I look good, don’t I?

Very nice. Is Keith clean living these days?I don’t even know what clean living means? I don’t smoke or take drugs. I never have. I like a drink, though! 

Are you a Joe Wicks fan?

He’s got a good bush of hair on him. I don’t follow his workouts, though. I don’t work out. Like I say, I just don’t eat bread.

Whose house on Through The Keyhole would you not want to look around?

A murderer’s. Him out of Silence Of T’Lambs who makes a lady suit out of skin. Horrible that film, innit?
