Why does keith lemon where a bandage on his hand all the time?

Keith Lemon has said in a March 2008 interview with OK! Magazine that he wears a bandage on his hand due to a kangaroo attack. He says the kangaroo attacked when he tried to touch his "tallywacker" and suspects that is why they wear boxing gloves in children's books.

Keith Lemon is actually a character portrayed by Leigh Francis and is loosely based on his best friend. The character first appeared in Bo' Selecta!
