The couple have been together since they were teenagers before finally tying the knot in Allerton Castle, North Yorkshire, in 2002, but are rarely pictured together.
Jill and Leigh went out with their daughters, who the couple preferred to keep out of the public eye.
It comes after Leigh shrugged off recent drama when he attended the UK premiere of The Creator in London in September.
The outing comes amid claims the comedian humiliated Melanie Sykes in front of a live audience while they filmed ITV’s Through The Keyhole.
Melanie, 53, said Leigh made explicit sexual jokes about her for three hours, including: “I bet your bum smells like flowers.”
Melanie claimed TV producers failed to act after she complained that comedian Leigh made derogatory jokes about her in front of a live audience while they filmed ITV’s Through The Keyhole.
The radio and television presenter said TV production company Talkback, founded by comedy duo Mel Smith and Griff Rhys Jones, ignored her when she complained.
On Fashion PR Lynne Franks’ podcast, Frankly Speaking, she said: ‘I went into the studio and I didn’t think Keith would be like he was on the other show he does (Celebrity Juice), where it’s all sex and blowjobs. is and talking about people’s assholes.’

But she added: “I was sitting there for a three-hour record and he was doing all these things to me verbally to entertain the live audience – because it would never make it into the edit of the show – so he used me to entertain the audience to entertain. .’
Comedian Katherine Ryan, who has accused Russell Brand of being a sex predator, branded Francis an “obvious creep” at the 2019 TV Choice Awards.
She told the audience that Lemon was “proof to perverts everywhere that an obvious creep is cute.” It’s much less threatening than a stealth version.
Francis hosted Celebrity Juice for 25 seasons before it was canceled last year. It attracted complaints and was the subject of an investigation by Ofcom, which ruled that a trailer for the show in 2013 breached guidelines by showing what the watchdog said was a sex toy.
Talkback said looking after the TV guests was ‘a top priority’. Francis did not respond to requests for comment last night.
