ITV2 orders 'reality' series about Keith's life

ITV 2 has confirmed that it has ordered a comedy reality TV show from Keith Lemon.

Lemon La Vida Loca will offer a ‘behind the scenes’ look at the life of Leigh Francis’s creation as he makes Celebrity Juice, Keith Lemon’s LemonAid and his new movie, Keith Lemon: The Film.

The channel has ordered four 45-minute episodes from production company Talkback.

Its managing director, Dan Baldwin said: ‘This series is for anyone who has longed to see Keith Lemon opened up, naked & bare…metaphorically speaking.

‘Let’s not forget, Keith is a normal (ish) bloke from Leeds who’s hit the big time, so how does he cope with the fast cars, adoring women, celebrity friends, his army of fans and the pay packet to match?

‘Lemon La Vida Loca reveals the real man behind the glittery, strawberry blonde, moustache.’

Keith Lemon added: ‘Really excited for Lemon La Vida Loca. It's been an incredible ride that I've been riding and now viewers will be able to come along on't ride with me.

‘Until the day NASA invents a Keith lemon simulator then this four part 45 minute show Is the only way people will be able to experience being me, without actually being me. I hope me bird don't mind cameras in't bedroom…’

The show will air in the late summer.
