Celebrity Big Brother fans convinced ITV legend has signed up – despite previously saying he’d ‘rather rip his eyes out’
EAGLE-eyed Celebrity Big Brother fans are convinced that an ITV legend has signed up for the show, despite being completely opposed to it before.
The iconic show is set to make a comeback this March, with a string of huge stars already signed up to bare all in front of the nation.
Bosses are believed to be shelling out a whopping £2million in order to secure the show’s biggest and best cast yet when it returns to screens.
The Sun has already revealed a number of household names set to enter the Big Brother house, but many others have sparked rumours that they are part of the line up.
Avid followers of Leigh Francis, otherwise known as his comedy character Keith Lemon, are convinced that he is set to make an appearance on the programme.
This is despite the fact that he was asked on Big Brother in 2006, and told his agent: “No chance! I’d rather rip me eyes out.”
One reason why fans believe he changed his mind is because he recently made a mysterious allusion to being live on TV in March – but wouldn’t say which show.
Someone took to social media to speculate on the situation, writing: “He was on his TikTok a couple weeks ago, on a live saying he’s going to be on TV in March, but couldn’t say what it was!!
“I’m almost sure he’s going in. As Leigh Francis though.”
Another agreed that he would be free for the show seeing as he doesn’t have many ongoing projects right now, adding: “Keith Lemon doesn’t seem to be up to much nowadays.
“He’s been on Through the Keyhole and Celebrity Juice on ITV. Nowadays all I see him on is a 32red advert.”
