Keith Lemon felt unwell prior to filming \'Celebrity Juice\' on Monday (16.03.20).
The 46-year-old comedy star has taken to to social media to reveal he wasn\'t feeling "100 percent" before shooting the show at Elstree Studios in Borehamwood, where filming was ultimately cancelled in response to UK government advice about coronavirus.
Keith - whose real name is Leigh Francis - said: "I haven\'t been very well since Thursday. I went to a friends birthday party and I ended up leaving and I puked up.
"I think I got food poisoning, not from the birthday party but from where I\'d eaten prior to that. I won\'t say where."
Keith was checked by a medic before entering the studio, and revealed he was planning to keep his distance from people whilst he was feeling unwell.
Speaking to studio guests before the cancellation, he explained on Instagram: "If you are coming to \'Juice\', I know it\'s going to be a smaller audience this week cause they are cutting down due to coronavirus - I probably won\'t give you a high five in case I give you what I\'ve got.
"It\'s not man flu. I\'m just a bit dizzy and as I say achey and got a little cough but not worth talking about. I\'m just really tired.
"I let the dog out and I felt like a ninety-year-old man. I keep feeling right cold. I keep getting hot and cold. In bed I\'m super hot and then I\'m shaking freezing. I\'ve got fatigue."
But prior to that, Keith insisted his poor health wasn\'t linked to coronavirus.
He wrote on Instagram: "I don\'t have Coronavirus symptoms but I don\'t feel 100% Must be something else going around. Hope I don\'t start feeling compelled to buy all the supermarkets toilet paper stock! (sic)"
