Why did Keith Lemon feel "hurt" on Through the Keyhole?
Keith Lemon has admitted that he was left feeling "hurt" after one of his heroes appeared on Through the Keyhole - and didn't like him.
Keith is back with a new series of the show - which sees him snooping around celebrities' pads - but he admitted that it's not always a good thing to get access to big stars' homes.
"There were a couple [of celebrities we got] this series which I was quite shocked by, and a couple of people that I'd looked up to since I was a little kid," he told Digital Spy.
"It was weird being in their house and then it was weirder when they were in the studio or when we did the live link-up. You're hoping that you're going to get on with them.
"I remember with one person, Jonathan Ross was on the panel and he was going, 'They hate you, Keith, they hate you'. And I was really quite hurt. And then Jonathan Ross drew me a little picture saying, 'I like you, though'. And I kept that picture."
Keith added: "I've always said don't really meet your heroes, because it can be disappointing if they turn out to be wankers. They rarely are wankers, but it's horrible when someone's not as nice to you as you are to them because you used to adore them."
Keith was tight-lipped about which celebrity homes he visited this series - but did promise "some dildo action", so all is right with the world.
"I lived out a dream in one house but I can't tell you because it would give too much away," he said. "How can I hint? OK, I've dressed as this person, their alter ego, many a time. And then I performed an act that they do on their programme in their living room, which was exciting."
Any guesses, then?
Of course, Keith can be quite badly behaved in the celebrities' homes but said it's not always as bad as it looks.
"I remember when we did Joey Essex's house and we burnt a hole in a Gucci, £1,300 T-shirt, but we'd bought the exact one," he explained.
"So I burnt the one we'd bought, and then we hid his at the back of his wardrobe. And I didn't tell him until he was walking off because his eyes looked like he was going to start crying.
"We do something like that every now and then, just as a wind-up. Sometimes I break things for real, and sometimes it's a wind-up, but no-one will ever know.
"And sometimes I don't know, because they do it to me where I accidentally break it but they've put it there for me to break because they know I'm an idiot and will break it. All my ears will go hot. 'Oh no, man, I've been so careful!' And they go, 'Don't worry, we put it there'."
In this weekend's first episode, Keith opens up about slipping into Sharon Osbourne's Spanx in the past - but panellist Judge Rinder warns him that it's a criminal offence as he didn't have her permission.
"Oh God, right, well I'm a criminal then!" Keith joked. "Could I go to prison with a murderer? 'Oh, what are you in here for?' 'Trying on Spanx that didn't belong to me'.
"That's why the justice system doesn't work. It puts Spanx wearers in with murderers, it's wrong. [The show where I admit to it is] going to be on on Saturday - what if I get arrested? It's good press for the show... It's a good little stunt, I guess."
But while Keith's visited lots of homes by now, there are some still on his hit list.
"I'd like to do Jonathan Ross's house because he's got a really cool house, especially at Halloween," he said. "If we did a Halloween special, we could go to some big haunted mansions and then go to Jonathan Ross's house, that would be cool. And Derren Brown - apparently he's got an interesting home.
"And just nothing to do with Halloween, but we could just go to Kylie (Minogue's) house. Even if Kylie just pokes her head out the window and says, 'No chance, f**k off'. Even that would be good.
"Maybe I should just knock on her door and say, 'Oh, please, Kylie - we'll cover the wall in bin liners so we can't tell it's your house and we'll just have a cup of tea, please'. That would be nice."
Through the Keyhole returns for its new series on Saturday (December 7) at 9.35pm on ITV.
