Stand up comedian Keith Lemon and Amanda Holden were both shocked when they came to know that a group of asylum seekers had tried to hide inside their van so that they could cross the border from France to the UK illegally.
Illegal migrants and Keith Lemon ‘s van
Keith Lemon and Amanda Holden were shooting their new show inside a supermarket in Calais when a group of men tried to smuggle into their parked van.
A member of the crew saw a man under the boot of the van and a shoe lying near the vehicle. He raised an alarm. The men were trying to cross the border unnoticed but their plan was foiled.
A bystander reports…
There was a person who witnessed this whole happening and he told The Sun:
“Amanda and Keith were shooting inside a supermarket when a commotion kicked off outside.”
The bystander added:
“A bunch of asylum seekers were wandering around out there, and spotted the camera crew filming inside.
“They saw an opportunity, and tried to get into the big production van to hide behind various bits of equipment.”
“As they were pulling away, the driver noticed a stray shoe belonging to a chap hiding underneath their van. They quickly stopped the car, and security got him out and dealt with the matter.”
Both Keith and Amanda were shocked on learning it. But the whole matter was sorted out rather fast with no drama. Lucky!
The security around their filming location has been tightened after this incident.
