The popular TV presenter, 62, was lampooned along with many other household names in Leigh Francis' sketch show, which ran on Channel 4 from 2002 to 2009.But despite the controversial comedian having apologised in recent years for his fairly grotesque impressions, Kelly says she wishes she had said something at the time.
