Default Leigh Francis

What's your opinion of the man behind Bo Selecta and Celebrity Juice? Do you find him funny or not? Do you think he's funny regardless of his persona or does it depend on the character?

He's alright. It's annoying how people think Keith Lemon is real though

Agreed Locke, like when you see celebrities refer to him as Keith Lemon when he's not on Celebrity Juice, I wonder if they actually know that's not his real name

I did like the Keith Lemon character to begin with but 'Celebrity Juice' is a terrible show.

I met him in November briefly - he's alot different in real life, seems quite quiet and serious.

But Keith as a character is brilliant.

It's beginning to get old and boring now.
They need to change it up abit - the guests, rounds and gags are the same old sh*t now.

They shouldn't have included Rufus Hound as a regular guest. Regular team captains, yes, and have him stand in for whenever Holly's pregnant or Fearne's nostrils have caught in the wind and she's been blown over the channel - but it makes it stale when you have the same four people with the same banter and then only three different faces to change it up... and often they get people to come back for a second or third time. I enjoy Celebrity Juice but it needs a kick up the bum.

In character as Keith Lemon he's funny, the appearances he used to make on BBLB and stuff were just hilarious. I can't be bothered with Celebrity Juice though.

I've seen a few interviews of him when he's himself and it's so odd. But yeah, it's annoying that people think Keith Lemon is a 'real' person.

He's hilarious, I'm getting a bit tired of Keith Lemon though and would love an Avid Merrion/Bo' Selecta comeback for a while!

Keith Lemon is a better public persona than Avid Merrion was, but Avid was hilarious on BBLB, effing and blinding at 6pm xD

I have really liked everything he's done (apart from Sing if you can). Celebrity Juice started to get a bit tired, although still very funny, but I think some of the sketches/games on the last couple of shows have improved it. Still waiting for The Bang Tidy Show.

Celeb Juice was brilliant until it was the same thing every single time. Rufus is awful, the other 3 could have kept it going but Rufus is just urgh. I still haven't seen this guy out of the Keith Lemon character yet though haha. I wonder what he's like with the Celeb Juice cast backstage.

Can't stand Leigh Francis nor any of his characters... but agree with Shaun - Proper Crimbo was a great Christmas song.

He has a new show coming soon though

I saw the advertisement for "Lemonaid" tonight. Apparently it is a program "harking back to the days of Jim'll Fix It". Starts next week.
