A comedy panel show described by ITV2 as "Have I Got News For You meets Heat magazine".
The programme sees Keith Lemon (Leigh Francis) quizzing the panellists about the showbiz stories of the week. The teams are normally captained by Fearne Cotton and Holly Willoughby, affectionately known to Keith as 'Dot Cotton' 'Holly Willoughbooby' and respectively.
Whilst Fearne Cotton is on maternity leave, 2012 will see curvy model and actress Kelly Brook take over her team captain role.
Our Review: Celebrity Juice seems to be one of those shows that you either love or hate; indeed, it's one of the few that really divides the BCG editors.
To some, Leigh Francis's madcap creation Keith Lemon is an over-the-top annoyance, struggling to inject humour into this low-rent and cheap show. To others, it's precisely this lunacy and Keith's almost entirely random behaviour that makes the programme so enjoyable. One thing's for sure - the show is a huge hit for ITV2: it gets massive ratings for the channel.
