Celebrity Juice

Celebrity Juice, often referred to as Celeb Juice, is a British television comedy panel game on ITV2, broadcast since 24 September 2008. The show is written and presented by Keith Lemon, the alter-ego of comedian Leigh Francis. The format for the series was first suggested in 2007, after the final series of Leigh Francis' Channel 4 sketch show Bo' Selecta!. ITV approached Francis to create a show featuring popular alter-ego Keith Lemon, and after the success of the five-part series Keith Lemon's Very Brilliant World Tour, the channel commissioned Celebrity 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. It was confirmed on 7 September 2017 that the show had received a makeover with the set and titles card being updated. The new set will have Greek statues all around the back. In December 2018, it was announced that team captain Fearne Cotton had quit the series after ten years in order to pursue other projects.
