Leigh Francis turned down I'm A Celeb

Celebrity Juice host Leigh Francis has no plans to appear in any celebrity reality shows anytime soon despite numerous offers

Leigh Francis has revealed his swift responses to being offered the chance to appear in some of the nation's biggest reality shows.

The comedian has turned down I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! and Celebrity Big Brother.

The 51-year-old comedian revealed he's been approached by show bosses about competing in the ITV reality show but declined the offer.

Speaking to fans on Instagram, he said: "No way. They did ask me, though. I took the meeting and they were nice people but I just don't want to do it." He was also asked to take part in ' Big Brother ' in 2006 but he told his agent: "No chance! I'd rather rip me eyes out."

Meanwhile, Leigh recently admitted he believes the days of his alter-ego Keith Lemon hosting 'Celebrity Juice' are over for good.

The star - who fronted the iconic and outrageous X-rated game show from 2008 to 2022 - insisted the way comedy works has "changed" too much with comedians having to watch what they say.


He told the 'How To Be In The Spotlight' podcast: "The comedy landscape has changed. You can't say things that you used to say."

Leigh admitted being a father has also impacted his own goals, and he has grown up "a little bit" when it comes to the material he wants to present in public.

He explained: "Also, I grew up a little bit, I've got kids - it's embarrassing when you go to do the school run when the night before you were running about in a studio with your big fat d*** out."

Between a changing world and Leigh's own personal growth, he believes the door is closed on 'Celebrity Juice'.

He added: "I don't think it will come back."
