Keith Lemon has been handed a new deal by ITV
The 50-year-old TV star - whose real name is Leigh Francis - has been handed a bumper new deal by the broadcaster, despite having two of his biggest shows taken off the air.
Keith - whose 'Shopping With Keith Lemon' series has been recommissioned by ITV - told The Sun newspaper: "When I’m not surfboarding, climbing, waterskiing or bareback horse riding, my favourite thing to do is shoppin’.
"So, I’m really excited to be filming series four where I get to chat to lots of famous people whilst shopping.
"Sometimes it’s quite deep and revealing, sometimes just total daftness. But I love it. I can’t wait.
"I've got my shopping bag for life and a head full of questions."
On the other hand, two of Keith's best known shows, 'Fantastical Factory of Curious Craft' and 'Celebrity Juice', were both recently axed.
The TV star previously opened up about the decision, admitting that 'Fantastical Factory' was simply "too expensive" to make.
He said on Instagram: "No, it won't be back. I really enjoyed doing it but I think it was too expensive."
The show featured contestants making eye-catching crafts for celebrity guests, and the series included the likes of Martin Kemp, Nick Grimshaw and Eamonn Holmes.
Keith likened the show to stepping inside "Willy Wonka's chocolate factory".
Speaking before the first episode aired, he explained: "It's like Willy Wonka's chocolate factory but there's no chocolate. In fact the only brown stuff is brown cardboard, amongst a rainbow of other colourful materials.
"Fur, felt, spray paints, Acrylics, ribbons, fabrics. Everything you need to make your imagination create whatever you have the skills to build, paint or draw. Wow that sounds good doesn't it!
"It's a lovely joyful place you probably wouldn't expect to find me in, but I loved it!"
