Why is Celebrity Juice ending?
ALL good things must come to an end, and that includes one of ITV2’s craziest quiz shows.
After launching onto the scene in 2008, Celebrity Juice is now set air its last ever episode.
Why is Celebrity Juice ending?
Celebrity Juice is coming to an end because ITV decided to stop making the show, which was announced in June 2022.
Announcing the news at the time host Keith Lemon tweeted: “After 14 years, 26 series, 300 eps @CelebJuice is concluding later this year with two farewell specials.
“Thank you so so much to everyone who watched, to the team captains, guests, crew and itv2. It was the longest most fun party! I had a wonderful time. Big love x”
At the time ITV said they wanted Celebrity Juice to “go out on a high”, but didn’t specify why they had decided to no longer make the series.
But in September 2022, whilst appearing on Good Morning Britain, Keith opened up about Celebrity Juice and why the show was axed.
He said the network had “probably” made the decision because he was “too old”.
Keith added: “I don’t know who the guests are anymore. I say, ‘who is that?’ They’re from TikTok. I don’t know who they are. I always forget the names.”
The Sun have approached ITV for a comment.
When is the final episode of Celebrity Juice?
The last ever episode of Celebrity Juice will air on December 8, 2022 on ITV2 at 10pm.
Original team captains Holly Willoughby and Fearne Cotton will return for the show’s big finale, alongside host Keith Lemon.
Current co-hosts Laura Whitmore and Emily Atack will also be part of the fun.
The gang will be joined by guests including Maya Jama, Big Narstie, Chris Ramsey, Will Mellor, Johnny Vegas and Joey Essex.
Who starred on Celebrity Juice?
As mentioned, the show has always been hosted by Keith Lemon, who’s real name is Leigh Francis, and he was joined by team captains Holly and Fearne.
Fearne was left in 2018 and was replaced first by Paddy McGuinness and then Melanie B.
Holly then left in 2020, saying she “wanted to spend more time with her family”.
After this the new team captains were announced as Laura and Emily.
Regular guests on the show included Gino D’ Acampo, Joe Swash, and Stacey Solomon.
