Why does he wear a bandage?
As fans will know, Keith Lemon is actually a character made up by comedian Leigh Francis.
So, it will come as no surprises to know that the bandage is just part of the Lemon alter-ego, and is just part of the act.
During an interview on Chris Moyles’ show on Radio X, Lemon admitted that the act has all been one big joke.
He said: “Obviously there’s nowt wrong with my hand whatsoever, but it’s artistic expression, like when Nelly wears a plaster on his cheek.”
Has he been seen on TV without a bandage?
The character Keith Lemon has never been seen on TV without his bandage, but the man behind the alter ego, Leigh Francis has been spotted sans-bandage.
In 2018, he was spotted at the Bafta Awards – the year he won Best Entertainment Performance for Celebrity Juice.
Eagle-eyed fans noticed that Leigh was not wearing his famous hand covering.
This would have been because he went to awards as himself and NOT Keith Lemon.
