Keith Lemon delights fans in Leeds as he poses for pic while on shopping trip with mum

Keith Lemon lived up to his happy-go-lucky persona on Thursday as he stepped out on a shopping trip in Leeds.

The Celebrity Juice star was seemingly the star attraction in Farsley and appeared more than happy to stop and pose for his delighted fans.

Keith, real name Leigh Francis, took to the local Leeds village where his mum lives and popped in to Harvey's Quality Meats.

And he delighted the shop's manager, Nigel Griffiths, who claimed the star's mum had promised to bring him to the store next time he was in the area.

Nigel told Leeds Live : "His mother comes in shop most days as she a Farsley lady, they just called in to say hello, he is a lovely man! Then they were heading to the local park to walk his mum's dog apparently.

"Last time his mum was in shop she said she will bring him in to say hi, she seems a very proud mother. He didn't say much, it seems everybody wanted their photo took with him. [He] must get it all the time!"

The proud shop manager took to Facebook to post to a local group to share the snap, captioning his post: "Not often you meet our Keith in the village."

Excited villagers quickly flocked to the post to share their views and sightings.

One user wrote: "Just saw him on Hainsworth Park", while another commented "id: "Probably been to see his mum she lives round here".

A third exclaimed their jealousy, while a fourth said: " Ellie Barker responded: "I wonder if he managed to get his fish and chips whilst they were hot, people literally running after him with their phones!"

His visit comes a month after it was announced ITV's Celebrity Juice had been axed after 14 years.

Keith paid tribute to the show following the announcement and shared a statement on Twitter which read: "After 14 years, 26 series, 300 eps @CelebJuice is concluding later this year with two farewell specials.

"Thank you so so much to everyone who watched, to the team captains, guests, crew and itv2. It was the longest most fun party! I had a wonderful time. Big love x"

Alongside his statement, he shared a video which showed a host of classic moments from the series.
