CILLA BLACK once saw Leroy Lita naked after walking into Reading’s dressing room.
The legendary late singer and presenter used to go and watch the Royals because of her friendship with owner John Madejski.
Ahead of one clash with Arsenal at the Emirates, the former Surprise, Surprise host got more than she bargained for.
Appearing on the Undr The Cosh podcast, Lita revealed: “We were playing Arsenal away, I was b****** naked, standing there and Cilla Black is just in the changing room.
“She used to just come in and wish the lads good luck with the chairman because he used to come in before every game and bring all his celebrity friends.”
Jon Parkin then chimed in: “I bet that was a surprise for her!”
Black died aged 72 in 2015.
Speaking about his friend to the Mail, Madejski said: “She was my soulmate.
“I’ve a great love for Cilla – I always have had, and I always will.”
Lita, 38, played for Reading between 2005 and 2009 – scoring 32 times in 100 appearances.

Fans were left stunned back in August to see that Lita is still playing.
The forward scored in Nuneaton’s 4-0 friendly win over a young Coventry side.
In recent years he has played in non-league, representing Ilkeston, Hednesford, Stratford, Chelmford, Margate and Salisbury.
