Keith Lemon disrupted Good Morning Britain on Wednesday morning as he crashed into the studio mid-interview.

The comedian, who has explored America for his forthcoming show, appeared on the ITV breakfast programme 'via video link' to chat about his new ITV2 series.

Lemon began with an apology for looking “dishevelled”, joking that he had been out with friends with GMB presenters Piers Morgan and Susanna Reid thinking he was live from Los Angeles.

However, the two broadcasters were soon left flailing as the video feed to cut off, leaving them joking that Lemon had been “cut off because he never watched England”.

But the last laugh was on them as the comedian, real name Leigh Francis, bounded into the studio shouting “I’m not in America! I’m in London!”

Joining the panel, he quipped: “I thought you must know. You do television, you know nothing is real!”

Morgan replied: “We had absolutely no idea you were in the country or the building.”

The brand new ITV2 series sees the cheeky comedian attempt to crack America with some of his best-known sketch show characters.

With aspirations to make it as big as James Corden has stateside, a documentary crew follow every move Lemon makes as he bids for stardom.

Good Morning Britain airs weekdays from 6am on ITV. Keith Lemon: Coming In America starts Thursday 5 July at 10pm on ITV2.
