Keith Lemon: 'I want Simon Cowell on Through the Keyhole'

Keith Lemon has revealed that he will be returning for a new series of Through The Keyhole and spoken about which celebrities he'd like to have on the series.

Keith revived the show - which had been presented by David Frost for over 20 years between 1987 and 2008 - for ITV last year after.

'We'll definitely be making a new series," he explains. 'It's such a great format because we're all just a bit nosey aren't we? We love looking around other people's houses!'

"The first episode of the series got 6.1 million viewers which was really good. Then the next day I heard that Mr Frost had passed away and I couldn't believe it! I felt really bad, but I think he'd be pleased that we'd brought it back."

Keith says that if he had a choice, he'd love to poke around the houses of X Factor mogul Simon Cowell, Kylie Minogue and TV illusionist Derren Brown. 

"I'd love to see what Simon Cowell's house is like although it would probably take me ages to get all the way around it - I bet it's massive! I have to say, the biggest celebrity house I've seen is Kerry Katona's. She might be bankrupt, but her pad's huge!"
