AN ECCENTRIC Michael Jackson impersonator proved he can hold a really Bad, Off The Wall dinner party for the TV show Come Dine With Me.

Keith Preddie kicked off a week of feasting, bitching and cooking when the hit Channel 4 show came to Croydon.

And apart from guest Sarah-Marie Palmer saying she would not serve his food to people in prison, her worst enemy or a dog, Keith's hosting went off without a hitch.

The 43-year-old, who repeatedly uttered Jacko's "Shamon" catchphrase, had a surprise up his sleeve – ditching the costume of his idol and instead dressing up in drag to entertain his guests as Tina Turner.

Keith, from Coulsdon, said: "Everyone was expecting me to do Michael Jackson but they were all barking up the wrong tree.

"I had blokes on Facebook saying 'I like your legs', which is a bit weird.

"I said 'Shamon' about 322 times on the show – I even did my own head in.

"I had a brilliant time. I was buzzing the whole week."

The Michael Jackson fanatic served a halloumi and chilli salad to start, "Shamon chicken" (with mozzarella in tomato sauce) for his main and "Dirty Diana" (banana delight, chocolate sponge and cream) for pudding.

Narrator Dave Lamb described Keith's dessert as a "dirty protest", but it did not dampen his spirits.

Keith added: "It was nice.

"I never went on the programme to win – I didn't even know I was going on until four weeks before filming when they called me and asked me to be on it.

"Filming sometimes went on until 4am and I didn't take the week off work so I was buzzing by the end.

"I thought my son Ryan would be embarrassed, but he came from home from school shouting 'You're famous dad – everyone is saying 'Shamon'."

Keith had to put his fear of cats to one side on Tuesday's show when he visited host Suzie Phillips' Kenley home.

"I hate cats," he continued.

"She had 10 Siamese house cats. They looked like aliens.

"But Suzie was my favourite guest – she's not a vindictive person and she doesn't have a bad word to say about anybody."

Keith, who was also competing against Vanessa D'Souza and Robert Preston, insists viewers are in for a shock tonight (Friday).

He said: "My ultimate goal was to go dressed as a white person – like on the film White Chicks – but it takes two hours to do the make-up and my taxi came too early, so instead I grabbed anything I could.

"I had a Rod Stewart wig, nail varnish on my hands, odd shoes and I looked like a right odd bod."

Tune in to Come Dine With Me at 5.30pm on Channel 4 tonight (Friday) to find out who wins.
