PORN PAST OF COPY CAT’ COMIC
Adam denies his act is a rip-off as it emerges he did smutty
THE Britain’s Got Talent comedian accused of stealing his stage act from other performers has a seedy past as a porn star.
The Sunday People can reveal that Adam Keeler, 34, worked for a firm specialising in men- only adult material while he was bidding to break into showbiz.
His credits include raunchy shoots for gay site HornyBritishBoys.com in which he performed smutty casting couch stripteases.
The revelation comes amid claims that the act the former Chessington World of Adventures worker showcased on family-oriented talent show BGT was swiped from veteran entertainers Raymond and Timpkins.
A source said last night: “This is the biggest family show on TV and they have put through a man who made a living making porn.
“Is that the kind of person who should be performing in front of the Queen? This will be highly embarrassing for all concerned.”
The source added: “He makes a living working with children. I’m sure many parents would be shocked to hear about his seedy past.”
Show boss Simon Cowell and judge David Walliams both congratulated Adam on his act last week.
But comic Walliams took to Twitter after the rip-off row blew up to urge fans to check out the act he was accused of stealing.
Unashamed
Adam makes no mention of his past as an X- rated model on his Casting Call Pro online CV, where he lists his current role as a children’s entertainer at the Dreamworks Tours Shrek Adventure.
In the About Me section, he says: “I stumbled across the performance career after working for Chessington World of Adventures and moving across to the entertainment area.
“This used my skill of improvisation and audience participation.”
From there, he went on to “scareacting for Halloween attractions… moving abroad to perform game shows and compere work for live business in family holiday resorts”.
The CV reveals he moved back to the UK, where he “performs with Dreamworks studios at their Shrek Adventure in London; performing various roles in shows five days a week”.
He adds: “I have recently branched out into voice acting work also.”
Friends say Adam is unashamed of his porn appearances – as long as they do not get in the way of his quest for fame.
The 5ft 11in, 17-stone entertainer has even shown off old pictures of himself in seductive poses on an Instagram account, joking about his need to lose some weight and get his abs back.
One pal said: “Adam has always been outgoing and wanted to be famous. He would have done anything to get there when he was younger.
“He was always bragging about being on these adult websites and he would post pictures from his shoots online. Now he is trying to be taken seriously as a comedian and wants to win BGT and perform in front of the Royal Family – what would the Queen think if she knew his past?
“Adam got into the industry when he was 18. Back then, he was all muscles and fake tan and did casting couch-style shoots, which were used online.
“He has tried to make a career out of comedy since. He has done pretty well in the family entertainment business in holiday resorts.
“And there’s no question of him being a starving actor, judging by the extra pounds he has put on since his porn days. So he probably wouldn’t make much money doing it now.
“When he got on to BGT, he thought it would be his big break. So when people started accusing him of stealing his act he will have been distraught. But he must have known his past as an adult star would catch up with him. He’ll be crestfallen if it stops him getting any further.”
Adam’s appearance on BGT show is not his first bid to make it big on mainstream TV – he has already tried his hand on a string of primetime shows.
Attention
The comic was also in Sky’s Dream Team, ITV’s Playdate and The Weakest Link, hosted by the acerbic Anne Robinson.
The source added: “He has always been so famehungry. BGT is the latest in a long string of programmes he has applied to go on.
“Adam just loves to be the centre of attention. That’s why he likes working with children and performing at
