Keith Lemon: Coming In America, 10pm, ITV2
Move over James Corden… Keith Lemon reckons he’s already made it ‘massive’ in the UK so he’s now set his sights on cracking the tough US market, too. ‘I’m on a mission to make American TV great again,’ says the comic famous for hit shows such as Celebrity Juice and Through The Keyhole. ‘I like the weather and confusing Americans.’ The ITV2 mockumentary follows Keith’s journey as he sets out to achieve his dream of hosting his own US-made show.

Watch out for John Barrowman, Emma Bunton and Sharon Osbourne later in the series. Rating: ****
