Keith Lemon is not an idiot. Far from it. He plays the part of an idiot very well tho. A bit like Al Murray playing his 'pub landlord' riole. He's very different in real life.
KL could give Cilla a good makeover and she'd still be a snooty snob. Her northern accent is ONLY for media, locally she displays a plummed shires accent. Her chauffeur drops her off for hair appointments & sits in Tesco free car park till she calls - tight or wot ?
I too was surprised when I saw Cilla and as my parents are well into their 80's and look good for their ages, I'm surprised she's only 70, looks older imo.
