What happened to Kiosk Keith and why was he sacked from I’m A Celebrity?

He was booted from the show in 2018 with no explanation


I’m A Celebrity is back gracing our screens every night, and it didn’t take long for Kiosk Kev to return. But, the question that’s always on my mind every year is what really happened to Kiosk Keith, and why was he removed from I’m A Celebrity? He used to be such a staple of the show but he hasn’t been seen since 2018, and it looks like he’s been permanently replaced by Mark Herlaar who plays Kiosk Kev. Let’s get to the bottom of why Kiosk Keith was removed from I’m a Celebrity.

What happened to Kiosk Keith?

In January 2018, The Sun reported that Kiosk Keith had been fired after being accused of coming into work drunk and behaving inappropriately towards one of his female colleagues.

Kiosk Keith, who is actually called Raymond Grant, was allegedly drunk when he made an unwanted advance towards a young female member of the crew who was “half his age,” a source told The Sun. “It wasn’t unusual for Keith to turn up to work drunk as he’s done it before but this incident has shocked everyone. It happened in front of loads of people, the girl was so upset. As soon as she made a complaint Keith was sacked. It’s good riddance really.”

His wife, Donna, also told The Sun: “They were sitting around and having a few drinks. Keith saw the girl walk by and gave her a tap on the a**e.”

She added he “shouldn’t have done it” and explained he’d been “sacked” from his role as Kiosk Keith and also from helping build sets on the show.
