Celebrity Juice is a British television comedy panel game show on ITV2 broadcast since 24 September 2008. The show is presented by Keith Lemon, with regular captains Holly Willoughby and Fearne Cotton, alongside regular panellist Rufus Hound. Since the third series, the show has also featured Jedward, David Hasselhoff and Verne Troyer as the regular challengers in the VT challenges. The series is produced by Talkback Thames and filmed at Riverside Studios. The show is produced by Dan Baldwin. The idea of the show is to see which team knows most about the week's tabloid news stories. The show is also renowned for the mocking of its team captains – with Lemon often referring to Willoughby as "Holly Willoughbooby" and mocking Cotton for her large nostrils and small breasts. Lemon has also given Cotton the nickname "Dot Cotton" and generally favours Willoughby's team over Cotton's. In 2011, the series won the Best Entertainment Show Award at the TV Choice Awards and in 2012, it won an NTA for best comedy panel show.
