She said her last name should be pronounced 'A-tack' rather than the word 'Attack' - as Keith claimed Peter was one of the people who got it wrong.

Emily told DJ Chris: "I always breathe a sigh of relief when someone says my name correctly."

Keith - whose real name is Leigh Francis - interrupted telling her: "Can I just say something?

"Do you know Peter Andre is doing a film and he wanted you to play his girlfriend. I said: 'I bet you do.'

"He said: 'But you know Emily Atack [pronouncing the name incorrectly] more than I do.'

"That's not her name for a start so if you're going to phone her up, that's not... but he's a lovely fella isn't he?"

Keith and Emily were appearing with their Celebrity Juice co-star Laura Whitmore as they promoted the show, which returns to ITV2 tonight.

Singer Peter has increasingly moved into movies, recently telling followers he is shooting a film as he posed alongside son Junior, 16, and movie director Fredi Nwaka.

Emily and Keith, meanwhile, will return for a new series of Celebrity Juice on ITV tonight.

In a teaser clip released ahead of the series' return on Thursday night, Keith is heard asking Emily how many times she'd had sex this week.

He begun by asking Emily: "How many fingers do you have on one hand?" Emily confidently replies: "Five!"

Jonathan Ross pointed it it was in fact four fingers and a thumb. As Emily giggled away to herself, Keith cheekily asks: "How many times have you had sex this week?"

She replied: "Four and a thumb!"

Elsewhere in her Radio X interview today Emily confessed she uses her Team Captain status on Celebrity Juice to boost her love life.

Chris asked: "Why don't you give the booker of the show a list of famous men you fancy."

Proving totally candid, Emily admitted: "Oh I have! Yeah, I have! I have."

Laura giggled and joked: "It’s in the contract, it’s in the contract" before Keith added: "Look at the coyness, look at how her head tilts to the left!"
