Truth about Keith Lemon's Corrie cameo 'role'

We blogged a few days ago that Keith Lemon had filmed a Coronation Street cameo role as a Newton and Ridley delivery driver.  The story had been reported in The Sun, but it turns out it's untrue.

Today in the fab Inside Soap magazine they reveal that Keith Lemon's stint on the Street wasn't filmed as part of Corrie itself.

It was filmed as part of Keith Lemon's reality show Lemon La Vida Loca.

Celebrity Juice's Keith Lemon films Coronation Street cameo role

The Sun reports today that Celebrity Juice fella Keith Lemon has filmed a Coronation Street cameo role as a Newton and Ridley delivery man. 

Now then, I don't watch Celebrity Juice and don't really 'get' Keith Lemon but I understand that (hang on while I put my old tart hat on) it's a popular show and he's a funny man. 

Anyway, here he is in the Rovers Return - newly wallpapered, you'll notice, with Michelle Keegan, who plays Tina McIntyre.

Coronation Street on new series of Celebrity Juice

Corrie is playing a unique role in new series of Celebrity Juice – with our favourite Street stars taking on Keith Lemon in the show’s weekly challenges!

Samia Ghadie (Maria Connor), Michael Le Vell (Kevin Webster) and Paula Lane (Kylie Platt) are amongst the Corrie residents taking part in the challenges each week – following in the footsteps of David Hasselhoff, Verne Troyer and Jedward in taking on the unmistakable Mr Lemon.

There’s a behind-the-scenes video over on the official Corrie site, and the new series of Celebrity Juice starts tonight at 10pm on ITV2.

My experience on Lemonaid's Corrie Special

I was lucky enough to feature as part of the Keith Lemon’s Lemonaid Coronation Street Special a couple of weekends ago, and our wonderful editor Flaming Nora suggested I should blog about the experience!

I travelled down to London with a friend, and took part in the episode that was broadcast last Saturday, 21st April. The gorgeous Michelle Keegan (Corrie's Tina McIntyre) was Keith’s ‘Celebrity Helper’, and the episode can be found here if you’d like to see it, it’s well worth a watch. Look out for the Rovers Return scene with a tram-tastic ending!

For those of you that haven’t seen the show before, Keith Lemon solves people’s problems and makes their dreams come true, like a modern-day Jim’ll Fix It! We put an appeal out on the blog to find some budding Corrie fans to also take part in the show, but I had already been selected to appear having previously auditioned, and was delighted to hear it was for the Corrie special.

The problem I had was that I couldn’t tie a tie, and with my university graduation coming up, I needed Keith’s help in solving this issue. I was called out of the audience, and went down to the front to meet Keith and Michelle. They told me Michelle would teach me how to tie a tie over the commercial break, and when we came back, if I could do it, I’d win a ‘tie-related’ prize.

So after returning from the ad break, I was shown a good luck video message from the lovely Davina McCall, and managed to successfully tie a tie thanks to Michelle’s help.

And as for my tie-related prize? I won a week-long holiday for two to Thailand!

Unfortunately, my part of the episode had to be cut from the final edit for time, but it was a brilliant experience to be part of. Michelle Keegan was a pleasure to meet, and I had a great laugh with her on set. And I took away a holiday to Thailand – not bad for a Saturday night’s work!
