Leigh Francis sported a bright yellow jacket as he stepped out with trendy wife Jill Carter in Primrose Hill on Sunday.
The comedian, 50, best known as his alter ego Keith Lemon, stepped out with Jill and his two daughters Matilda and Dolly – who choose to be unidentified.
The TV personality tucked into some delicious pub grub after walking through the city to celebrate Bonfire Night.
Leigh attempted to keep a low profile in his beige hat and black sunglasses but stood out from the crowd in his brightly coloured coat and yellow fire-flame trousers.
Meanwhile the beauty therapist, 46, looked stylish in a casual black bomber jacket and Adidas trousers, teamed with leopard print Nike trainers.

The couple have been together since they were teens before eventually tying the knot back in 2002 at Allerton Castle, North Yorkshire, but are rarely pictured together.
Jill and Leigh headed out with their daughters, whom the couple choose to keep out of the public eye.
It comes after Leigh brushed off recent drama as he attended the UK premiere of The Creator in London in September.
The outing comes amid claims the comedian humiliated Melanie Sykes in front of a live audience while they filmed ITV’s Through The Keyhole.
Melanie, 53, said Leigh made explicit sexual gags about her for three hours, including: ‘I bet your a*****e smells of flowers.’
Melanie claimed TV producers failed to act after she complained that comic Leigh made humiliating jokes about her to a live audience while they filmed ITV’s Through The Keyhole.
The radio and television presenter said the TV production company Talkback, founded by the comedy duo Mel Smith and Griff Rhys Jones, ignored her when she complained.
Speaking on fashion PR Lynne Franks’s podcast, Frankly Speaking she said: ‘I went into the studio and I didn’t think Keith was going to be like he was on the other show he does [Celebrity Juice] where it’s all sex and blowjobs and talking about people’s a*******s.’

But she added: ‘I sat there for a three-hour record and he did all that stuff to me verbally to entertain the live audience — because it was never going to make the edit of the show – so he used me to entertain the audience.’
Comedian Katherine Ryan, who has accused Russell Brand of being a sex predator, labelled Francis an ‘obvious creep’ at the 2019 TV Choice Awards.
She told the audience that Lemon was ‘proof for perverts everywhere that an obvious creep is cute. It’s way less threatening than a stealth one’.
Francis hosted Celebrity Juice for 25 seasons before it was axed last year. It drew complaints and was the subject of an investigation by Ofcom, which ruled that a trailer for the show breached guidelines in 2013 by featuring what the watchdog said was a sex toy.
Talkback said looking after its TV guests was ‘a top priority’. Francis did not respond to requests to comment last night.
