Summary
This week’s episode feels particularly special because Leigh Francis, my dear friend, steps out as himself for the very first time.
Starting from his school days in Leeds and early career, meeting his now-wife, Jill, his first forays as a hard-up comic, starting out working with Sacha Baron Cohen and Noel Fielding to how Celebrity Juice was conceived at my 30th birthday party!
It’s time to meet the man behind all the masks, it’s Leigh Francis.
