In a rare interview as himself, Leigh revealed that he was convinced by Jill to drop his alter-ego to collect the Best Digital Programme award for Celebrity Juice. He told The Sun: "I promised her Keith wouldn't be there so we could just have a bit of time on our own being normal.

"You can tell it's me instead of Keith because I've got my hair tied back into a tiny bun… My executive producer, Leon Wilson, said it feels like I'm coming out! But I won't be doing it again. I don't want anyone to know who I really am - I prefer being Keith. Everyone goes a bit weird when it's just me."
