Keith Lemon has been dealt a blow with the Leeds comedy star’s ITV show being dropped.

It has been confirmed by the broadcaster that there are currently no plans to make a new series of Shopping With Keith Lemon. The programme fronted by Keith, real name Leigh Francis, 51, began back in 2019.

It aired for four series on ITV2 with it also being available on ITVX. The programme saw celebrity guests join shopaholic Keith on the high street to shop and gossip.

Famous faces, who featured as guests, have included Mel B, Amanda Holden, Olly Murs and Danny Dyer among others. As reported by the Metro, a spokesperson said: "There are no current plans for a new series but the show will continue to have a regular presence across both ITV2 and ITVX with repeat programming."

In 2022, it was confirmed that ITV axed Keith Lemon-fronted Celebrity Juice. Earlier this year, promoting his comedy tour, we discussed the end of Celebrity Juice with the star.

Keith said: “People say bring it back and I’m a bit like ‘it has only been off for a year’. It isn’t going to come back yet and I don’t think it will come back but never say never because, if they ask me, I’d say yes straightaway.”
