Keith’s real name is Leigh however he uses his alter ego Keith Lemon to present both Celebrity Juice and Through the Keyhole.

Last year, Leigh took to social media to reveal that he and Jill had been childhood sweethearts.

He wrote at the time: “What a lovely anniversary evening. Together 25 years! Married 14 years! Love you Mrs F ever since we were kids xxxxxxxxxx… Love you very much Mrs Francis.”

The couple, who married back in 2002 at Allerton Castle in North Yorkshire, have two daughters – Matilda and Dolly.

Leigh previously told The Sun that Jill once convinced him to collect the Best Digital Performance award for Celebrity Juice as himself rather than his alter ego Keith.

He said: “I promised her Keith wouldn’t be there so we could just have a bit of time on our own being normal.

“You can tell it’s me instead of Keith because I’ve got my hair tied back into a tiny bun.”

He added: “I prefer being Keith. Everyone goes a bit weird when it’s just me.”
