Keith Lemon stepped out on Tuesday night for one of music's biggest events of the year, attending the BRITs with his wife, Jill Carter. The loved-up couple were sat at a table with Laura Whitmore, Maya Jama, and Emily Atack, who shared a video of them laughing and joking throughout the night. The Celebrity Juice host wore his trademark long hair up in a bun, and was dressed in a statement jacket, while Jill looked stylish in a black lace dress. The TV presenter's wife is often compared to the Duchess of Cambridge, and after he shared a picture of Jill on social media last year, fans were quick to comment on their resemblance.

Despite his on-screen alter ego, Keith – whose real name is Leigh Francis - tends to keep his family life private. However, the TV star previously revealed that Jill managed to convince him to collect the Best Digital Programme award for Celebrity Juice as himself. "I promised her Keith wouldn't be there so we could just have a bit of time on our own being normal," he told The Sun. "You can tell it's me instead of Keith because I've got my hair tied back into a tiny bun." He added: "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."
