Keith Lemon Guest Edits ZOO for Comic Relief

This week's issue of ZOO is a Comic Relief Special, guest-edited by its first ever male cover star - Keith Lemon.

The Comic Relief issue features a '100 Funniest Men in Britain' survey won by Jimmy Carr, and an interview with Dara O'Briain.

For every issue sold of the Bauer Media men's weekly, 10p of the cover price will be donated to the Comic Relief charity. ZOO is also auctioning various signed and one-off goodies on MadBid.com with all money raised going to Comic Relief.

ZOO's Editor, Damien McSorley, said: "We are all really proud of this ground-breaking edition of ZOO and working with Keith and the Comic Relief team has been a truly entertaining and rewarding experience. I know our readers enjoy a good dose of humour and will donate generously to this fantastic cause."

Guest Editor and cover star, Keith Lemon, added: "I were really looking forward to being guest editor of ZOO magazine. It were a bit of a dream of mine to be honest but even better to do it for Comic Relief and raise a proper load of money for charity. I got to choose all the pages and stuff, so I had me doing a Red Nose shoot with a couple of bang tidy birds. Plus, there's the 100 Funniest Men In Britain, as voted for by t'readers. I'm 13th, which I'm proper happy about.

"Now I just want t'readers to dig deep for Comic Relief and do something funny for money..."

ZOO has set up a dedicated page for Comic Relief donations at www.zootoday.com/donate
