I talk to: Keith Lemon

As Keith Lemon prepares for the return of Through The Keyhole, I thought it was only right to catch up with the man himself to find out more about the new series.

Taking the pith: here's a second helping of highlights from Keith Lemon's chaotic panel show, presented via an appropriately strained framing device. Along with team captains Holly Willoughby and Fearne Cotton (plus regular panellist Gino D'Acampo), Lemon impersonates the couch critics of Channel 4's Gogglebox, adding a layer of panto meta-commentary to what is essentially a clips compilation with a makeup budget.

Katie Price worst Celebrity Juice guest for banter

Keith Lemon wants Katie Price back. The last time she appeared on his hit ITV2 show Celebrity Juice, the comedy king admitted she wasn't exactly the most entertaining guest he's ever had.

Let's hope Blankety Blank doesn't get Keith Lemon

The best possible thing that could happen to Blankety Blank now is if someone like Paddy McGuinness took over and oversaw a ho-hum photocopy of the original show. But this is ITV. We cannot rule out the horrible prospect of Keith Lemon's Blankety Blank. Look at Through the Keyhole, once a respected if smug BBC One series that ITV snapped up and transformed into a witless totem to endless, tortuous, shrieking, pointless, Lambrini-drinking, grunting, cheapskate, empty-calorie Keith Lemon muck. If ITV has the power to do that to Through the Keyhole, imagine what a mess it would make of Blankety Blank.
