KEITH Lemon has never been one to be a serious journalist - but even he found himself struggling with the most awkward interviews ever with Dennis Rodman in Through the Keyhole.

The chatty northerner and the American basketball star gave one of the most awkward interviews EVER on the ITV game show after Dennis allowed Keith to have a look through his home.

When they spoke at the end of the round, viewers were left in stitches as the pair’s awkward interaction got more and more cringeworthy – with Dennis avoiding easy questions and being left confused at Keith’s wacky behaviour.

After seeing Dennis’s lavish lifestyle, Keith asked: “What is the most expensive thing you’ve ever bought?” to which Dennis deadpan replied with: “A wife.”

Dennis - who has never been one to shy away from awkward revelations - was also asked how tall he was and he responded with: "It depends whether I'm on my knees or not."

Keith then tried to quiz Dennis on basketball technique 'rebounding' which bizarrely, Dennis tried to not answer – instead awkwardly twisting the conversation into one about his love life with Madonna and Carmen Electra and his love of London.

In an all-too rare moment Keith was stunned to almost silence as he continued to repeat the question - and only after five times of asking getting the answer.

He then seemed to confront boxer David Haye, who was a panellist on the show, about his height, bragging that he was 6ft 8inches compared to David's 6ft 3inches.

When the pair struggled to understand each other, Dennis left the studio audience in stitches as he asked Keith: “Are you like this ALL the time?!”

Eventually Keith kept awkwardly laughing to round off the bizarre interview on a positive note.

Fans were quick to praise the entertainingly cringe moment – especially Keith’s ability to keep the show from falling apart.

One fan wrote: “This Keith Lemon x Dennis Rodman exchange is one of the most incredible, excruciating TV moments ever ”

Another added: “Keith lemon 'interviewing' Dennis Rodman on Through the Keyhole is perhaps the most uncomfortable interview I've ever seen.”

A third agreed and wrote: “Dennis Rodman on is horribly awkward, love that Keith Lemon doesn't care and just laughs at him.”

Others compared the moment to other awkward moments: “Dennis Rodman. Most awkward interview since Parkinson had Oliver Reed on.”

While another simply stated: “Keith Lemon talking to Dennis Rodman on through the keyhole is the oddest tv i've seen in a good while.”
