Keith Lemon thinks Katie Price was the "worst guest" he’s ever had on his hit show ‘Celebrity Juice’.
The 43-year-old comedian – who is played by Leigh Francis – believes the loud-mouth former glamour model let him down when she was invited on the panel show in 2008 because she refused to let loose with her lips and was fed up of him mocking her on screen in front of the nation.
Speaking to the Daily Mirror newspaper, he said: "She was so quiet. She was like, ‘Go on then, keeping taking the p**s out of me’ – but we were only having a laugh. I’m not saying she was horrible but we want people on the show to have fun!"
However, the flame-haired funnyman is desperate to get the 38-year-old star back on the panel after watching her let rip with her opinions on lunchtime show ‘Loose Women’.
He said: "She’s definitely not quiet on there [‘Loose Women’], is she? Katie was on ‘Celebrity Juice’ ages ago but I think she’s more relaxed now. She’s let her guard down.
"I enjoy watching her on ‘Loose Women’ so it would be nice if she could come back… and hopefully be a little more fun!"
‘Celebrity Juice’ is set to hit screens on Thursday (08.09.16) night but Keith doesn’t know who producers have got lined-up as guests for the forthcoming series.
He said: "I’m only messing around when I joke with people. I’m not vindictive.
"They tend to give as good as they get so I don’t think anybody would ever walk off of my show. It’s all in jest."
