Celebrity Juice was aBritish televisioncomedypanel game broadcast onITV2 between 24 September 2008 and 15 December 2022. The show was written and presented byLeigh Francis in the role of his alter egoKeith Lemon. The format for the series was first suggested in 2007, after the final series of Francis’sChannel 4 sketch showBo' Selecta!.ITV approached him to create a show featuring Lemon, and after the success of the five-part seriesKeith Lemon's Very Brilliant World Tour, the channel commissionedCelebrity Juice. The original premise of the show was to see which team knows most about the week's tabloid news stories, although later series focus more on the comedy factor of the participating celebrity guests and games involving them, rather than discussing the week's news.
Fearne Cotton andHolly Willoughby were the show's original team captains. In December 2018, Cotton announced that she would leave the series after ten years in order to pursue other projects.[1] She was replaced byPaddy McGuinness,[2] though he left after one series and was replaced byMel B. On 4 May 2020, Willoughby revealed her decision to quit the series after 12 years on the show. She made her final appearance as team captain at the end of the 23rd series.[3] Mel B also departed at the end of series 23. On 10 September 2020, it was announced thatLaura Whitmore andEmily Atack had joined the show as team captains.[4] On 29 March 2021, it was announced thatMaya Jama had joined the show as a regular panellist.[5] In December 2021,Celebrity Juice became one of three shows by Francis to get recommissioned for 2022,[6] along with ITV2'sShopping with Keith Lemon and the E4/Channel 4 mockumentary series,The Holden Girls: Mandy & Myrtle.[7]
On 29 June 2022, it was announced thatCelebrity Juice had been cancelled by ITV; the series concluded with two specials which aired on 8 and 15 December 2022.[8]
Celebrity Juice was filmed at theRiverside Studios from 2008 until 2014. In August 2014 it was announced that the show, along with the BBC'sNever Mind the Buzzcocks andSweat the Small Stuff, would be hosted atElstree Studios Stage 9 whilst redevelopment takes place at their former home.[9] For its first seven series, the show was produced byTalkback Thames, and it has been produced byTalkback since series eight (Same production company, only re-branded). The show is produced by Dan Baldwin and Leon Wilson.
