Celebrity Juice is a British television panel show produced by Talkback Thames and filmed at Riverside Studios for ITV2. The show stars Leigh Francis’ alter ego Keith Lemon. Joining the comic every week are Holly Willoughby, Fearne Cotton and their Celebrity team members including Rufus Hound, who joined as a permanent member of Fearne's team from series 2 onwards (having appeared as a guest during the first series). The show's current series producer is Daniel Baldwin, Holly Willoughby's husband.
Lemon frequently refers to Willoughby as 'Holly Willoughbooby' and during series 2 when she was heavily pregnant, Holly Willoughbaby and generally favours her team over Cotton's in a comic fashion. Also, he sometimes refers to Cotton as 'Dot Cotton' (an elderly character from the UK soap EastEnders).
Since series 3, Irish pop duo Jedward have had a regular slot on the show each week, in which they compete with Keith Lemon in various tasks.[1]
