Celebrity Juice is a British television comedy panel game broadcast on ITV2 between 24 September 2008 and 15 December 2022. The show was written and presented by Leigh Francis in the role of his alter ego Keith Lemon. The format for the series was first suggested in 2007, after the final series of Francis's Channel 4 sketch show Bo' Selecta!. ITV approached him to create a show featuring 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.
Fearne Cotton and Holly 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.{{cite web|url=https://www.radiotimes.com/news/tv/2018-12-18/fearne-cotton-quits-celebrity-juice/|title=Fearne Cotton quits Keith Lemon's Celebrity Juice after 10 years|last=Harrison|first=Ellie|date=18 December 2018|website=Radio Times}} She was replaced by Paddy McGuinness,{{cite news|url=https://www.standard.co.uk/stayingin/tvfilm/paddy-mcguinness-confirmed-as-fearne-cottons-celebrity-juice-replacement-a4077856.html|title=Paddy McGuinness CONFIRMED as Fearne Cotton's Celebrity Juice replacement|last=Powell|first=Emma|date=27 February 2019|work=Evening Standard|access-date=2 April 2019}} though he left after one series and was replaced by Mel 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.{{cite news |title=Holly Willoughby leaves Celebrity Juice after 12 years |url=https://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-52528144 |date=4 May 2020 |website=BBC News |access-date=8 June 2020}} Mel B also departed at the end of series 23. On 10 September 2020, it was announced that Laura Whitmore and Emily Atack had joined the show as team captains.{{cite web|url=https://www.digitalspy.com/tv/reality-tv/a33981929/celebrity-juice-new-captains-emily-atack-laura-whitmore|title=Celebrity Juice confirms new team captains including I'm a Celebrity's Emily Atack|work=Digital Spy|first=Megan|last=Davies|date=10 September 2020|access-date=10 September 2020}} On 29 March 2021, it was announced that Maya Jama had joined the show as a regular panellist.{{cite web|url=https://www.digitalspy.com/tv/a35963240/celebrity-juice-new-regular-panellist-maya-jama|title= Celebrity Juice announces new regular panellist alongside team captains Emily Atack and Laura Whitmore|first=Dan|last=Seddon|date=29 March 2021|work=Digital Spy|access-date=29 March 2021}} In December 2021, Celebrity Juice became one of three shows by Francis to get recommissioned for 2022,{{cite news|url=https://www.tvzoneuk.com/post/keithlemon-2022recommissions|title=Keith Lemon Returns to ITV2 with Two Recommissions|date=16 December 2021|work=TV Zone}} along with ITV2's Shopping with Keith Lemon and the E4/Channel 4 mockumentary series, The Holden Girls: Mandy & Myrtle.{{cite news|url=https://www.tvzoneuk.com/post/theholdengirls-s2speculation|title=The Holden Girls 'Set to Return for Second Series' on E4|date=3 December 2021|work=TV Zone}}

Production
Celebrity Juice was filmed at the Riverside Studios from 2008 until 2014. In August 2014 it was announced that the show, along with the BBC's Never Mind the Buzzcocks and Sweat the Small Stuff, would be hosted at Elstree Studios Stage 9 whilst redevelopment takes place at their former home.{{cite web|url=http://www.broadcastnow.co.uk/techfacils/talkback-moves-show-production-to-elstrees-stage-9/5075979.article|title=Talkback moves show production to Elstree's Stage 9|last=Bevir|first=George|date=7 August 2014|work=broadcastnow|access-date=13 September 2014}} For its first seven series, the show was produced by Talkback Thames, and it has been produced by Talkback since series eight (Same production company, only re-branded). The show is produced by Dan Baldwin and Leon Wilson.
