Ashley Roberts is to impersonate Caitlyn Jenner as part of a new Keith Lemon Show sketch it has been revealed.
When the next series of the hit and miss sketch show hits our screens, former Pussycat Doll Ashley will be seen dressing up as Caitlyn.
It all sounds a bit risky to us but Keith, aka comedian Leigh Francis, assured BANG Showbiz that it would be handled sensitively.

He said: ‘The producer originally didn’t want to go there because he thought the transgender community would give us a hard time on Twitter and we want to entertain people, we don’t want to offend people. But I feel it’s offensive not to deal with it.’
He added: ‘So that’s how we’re dealing with it, we’re having a good looking lady play him.’

It remains to be seen how appropriate the sketch will end up being when the show returns later in the year.
