Keith Lemon has found it hard "shattering dreams" on his new craft show.
The ‘Celebrity Juice’ star is hosting the new Channel 4 show ‘The Fantastical Factory of Curious Crafts’ and admits it is not as easy as it looks on other shows and it has been tough sending people home.
He said: "I thought it would be easy. When I saw Simon Cowell on the ‘X Factor’ I thought what an easy job, shattering dreams. It’s terribly hard. It’s horrible sometimes when you’ve seen them spend four to six hours on something and it’s ace. But you still have to send someone home. I have to think of tax bills to stop myself tearing up."
And Keith thinks having him and ‘Naked Attraction’s Anna Richardson as presenters on the show brings a bit of "edge" to the crafting world.
He added: "I think people have a certain perspective of me but some people know I do this in my spare time. People were surprised to see me doing a craft show. I’ve got a reputation for being rude and edgy and then you’ve got Anna who presents a rude and edgy show where people are naked and they put us together in the lovely world of craft. But I think that’s why this works. We give craft a bit of edge."
And Anna has praised Keith’s "totally different personality", revealing he is "much calmer and more considered" than others may know him as.
Speaking about her co-star, Anna shared to The Sun newspaper’s Bizarre TV column: "What’s interesting as well about it is you see a much softer, kinder, more interested, less ADHD side to him. Which, which I think is, is it’s a totally different personality that you’ll see. And especially when it comes to the judging that actually Keith really knows what it’s all about. So rather than being that kind of a mad guy celebrity, he seems much calmer, more considered really."
