Lemon memoir for Orion

30.04.12 | Charlotte Williams

Orion has acquired the first illustrated memoir by ITV2's "Celebrity Juice" host Keith Lemon, the alter-ego of comedian Leigh Francis.

Non-fiction commissioning editor Jane Sturrock acquired world rights in the memoir Being Keith from George Ashton at James Grant Management. Orion will publish in hardcover in November 2012.

Sturrock said: "From his first encounter with Holly and Fearne to dirty dancing with Paddy McGuiness and all the juicy details in between, Being Keith promises to be a real treat for fans who can't get enough of Keith's unique take on life."
