Keith Chegwin is a TV legend, best known for hosting a string of entertainment programmes in the 1970s and 80s.
He begun his showbiz career as an actor, landing several roles in films, TV dramas and adverts. His biggest part came in 1971, when he was cast as Fleance in director Roman Polanski’s adaptation of MacBeth.
After a stint as a DJ working with Tony Blackburn at BBC Radio 1, Keith – nicknamed ‘Cheggers’ – became a household name fronting shows such as Multi-Coloured Swap Shop, Cheggers Plays Pop and Saturday Superstore. More recent presenting credits include The Big Breakfast and a seven-year run on GMTV.
Keith’s cringiest moment came in June 2000, when he joined Naked Jungle, a one-off adult version of kids’ TV favourite Jungle Run with nudists as contestants. Keith also appeared in the buff – and despite the programme airing on Channel 5 at 11pm on a Tuesday, it caused a media storm and attracted over two million viewers. He later described it as the “worst career move” of his “entire life”.
Now he’s back on C5 as a Celebrity Big Brother housemate – although he’s had previous reality TV experience, being the sixth contestant eliminated from ITV’s Dancing On Ice in 2013. He was originally due to take part two years earlier, until he injured himself in training.
Some might think Keith would be a peacekeeper in the CBB house, but he exclaims: “No, let them fight! Mediation is fantastic but it’s not my job to do it. I’ll probably end up watching it like a viewer, thinking, ‘Go for it!’.”
Keith, who will celebrate his 58th birthday on the show, isn’t nervous about what the experience might bring: “If it goes wrong then it’s not my fault, they booked me.”
But although he isn’t planning to be the resident entertainer, he does have one trick up his sleeve: “I do like playing jokes and I’ve got something, which, if it backfires on me I’ll be out next week!”
Considering he has such a tiny todger , he is surprisingly happy 😀
Keith I hope he win but he must open up moor and do moor come on Keith you been on the TV for years you no what the viewer want to see don’t let them push you in to the back grown xx
As entertaining as a hemroid :down: is there any one home ????!!!
He’s got some balls doing that Naked Jungle though,……..plenty of balls but no willy 😯
@northernmonkey
…he says with a big smile himself 😥
I like Keith. He’s not had much of a chance with all the vile crap going on which I don,t blame him for not being or wanting to be a part off. It’s been a prity nasty house so far.
:up: He seems the most normal person in there
Another boring follow fashion
Hes boring and jumps into people arguments.
His oright
Keith is an ok guy :up: Unfortunately Parez has taken over the show from the beginning. Keith is usually a cheerful chap but I would think the negativity in the house has subdued him.
He could win this.
I truly hope Cheggers or Nadia win…they are the only ones that deserve to! What has happened to Katie P? Has she been kidnapped by aliens?? I almost forgot she was in the house with all that arguing & bullying going on again. This show is leaving me stressed out!! Will have to stop watching it. If that horrid woman Hopkins win it I will never watch CBB again ever, believe me I used to be a great fan this show but this year its very uncomfortable to watch!
Cheggers to win he’s very likeable guy and great housemate. He cooks, cleans, washes and funny love him
Watch your back Cheggers I’ve got a feeling Caty H has got you in her sights.
Time to whip the 2 inch mickey out. Give the public a laugh 😀
STOP CRYING
Nice bloke but he has the charisma of a dead field rodent.
No offence.
Kavana should be up for eviction not Keith. I think Keith will get evicted 🙁
Keith is standing by his principles morals and values….. What a truly strong, loyal sensitive man he is…… I would love him to win but I don’t think he will because he is so overshadowed by the game being played by the others…….. Keep him in to the final he deserves it xx
Its right what he said to Katie Hopkins, that her constant nagging at Perez is boring, put a sock in it Katie and let people like Keith get a look in.
Katie Hopkins has disrespected the veterans celebs in the house….
How long has she been on tv again?!
Teach the bitch a lesson!
Don’t disrespect the vets!
Keith is turning into a suck up to all with the occasional outburst after prompting so he’s not evicted.Bet if Hopkins went it would be great fun in the house-she poisoned everyone
Hopkins face looks like a train over it!! No wonder she’s a frigging bully , she must be so miserable inside, have her kids killed them selves yet as Perez said i frigging would!!!! Perez to win baby, this train just keeps on rolling!!
Keith stop letting perez winding you up, you have
been yourself don’t change.
@phillip pawsey
Just when I thought your comments couldn’t go any lower you went there. Don’t bring Katy’s kids into it.
This kind of comment speaks volumes about you and you what a real waste of space you are.
