Leigh Francis revives Keith Lemon for new 'work experience' YouTube series
Leigh Francis is bringing back Keith Lemon for a brand new YouTube channel.
Keith Lemon is offering to do "work experience" across the UK in a new web series.
The outrageous comedy character, who was created by Leigh Francis and hosted the likes of Celebrity Juice, is poised for a comeback and is set to launch his own YouTube channel.
The description for the new account reads: "Welcome to me official YouTube channel ‘Keith Lemon Forever’.
"I’ll be touring the Uk in a follow-up to Keith Lemon’s Very Brilliant World Tour entitled Keith Lemon’s very Brilliant National Tour.
"There’ll also be a running series called ‘Keith Lemon: Work Experience’.
"In each episode I’ll be working at a different place of work. If you’d like me to come to your place of work send me a message!
"There’ll also [be] lots of other stuff and things. So like and subscribe and tell ya mum I said hello! All’t best! Let the fun times commence! Ooooooosh! (sic)"
On Wednesday (26.08.26) at 5pm, a video titled "Welcome to Keith Lemon forever!" is set to premiere.
Next Monday (31.08.26), the first teaser for Work Experience will launch.
The thumbnail for the video reads: "Keith Lemon: Don't blow this job!"
Last year, 52-year-old comic Leigh hinted he was done with TV comedy.
Back in September 2025, he told his Instagram followers: "I don't know when I'll be on TV again.
"I turned something down this morning. I haven't pitched any ideas for TV shows in ages.
"If I do and someone likes it then I'll be back but if I don't, I won't."
Leigh also slammed people who call him Keith rather than his actual name, admitting is "p***** him off".
He ranted: "It's not my name, I keep saying it... my name is Leigh. You might as well call me Tony."
While the comedian rubbished the idea of bringing back his show Through The Keyhole - which he said "will never happen" - he'd be more open to a sketch show if it wasn't for the constant backlash.
He explained: "It's gone mad, you can't make anything without it upsetting people.
"If you think you're gonna be offended you shouldn't watch but I can't be bothered to get
into this deep conversation."
Leigh previously claimed Celebrity Juice was axed because "nothing is acceptable any more".
He told The Sun newspaper: "Just as fashion and flared trousers have come back round however many times, comedy tastes change.
“Now, nothing is acceptable any more — we had ‘the rules were the rules’ in past times, and they’re different now, so of course there are things back then that you wouldn’t do any more.
“You don’t set out to offend anyone, you just set out to make people laugh, but for me, now when I come up with an idea, it has to be a straight one, with just a bit of silliness."
