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"

One said: "I feel shame that Celebrity Juice is about to end. It really is the end of an era. Thank you for the millions of laughs you gave us for the last 14 years". Another wrote: "I’m absolutely gutted this is ending. But what a great run it’s had, Will definitely miss that on Thursday nights after the final 2 specials that air."

A third fan added: "A bonkers but brilliant show, I've seen things on there I never thought I would! How the team came up with some of the ideas is beyond me. Thank you for the laughs. x"

Celebrity Juice was first screened in 2008, with Fearne Cotton and Holly Willoughby appearing as team captains. The show was originally based around the week's tabloid news stories and eventually evolved to include insane games and challenges. Paddy McGuinness took over Fearne's place for a while before Mel B took his spot. Emily Atack and Laura Whitmore later became team captains.
