Two years ago, This Morning presenter Holly Willoughby announced she was leaving the show after "12 years of fantastic chaos". The show hit our screens in 2008 with her and Fearne Cotton as team captains.

Several months after she quit, Emily Atack and Laura Whitmore were announced as the new captains. Paddy McGuinness also took over Fearne's place after a long while before Mel B took his spot.

They were joined by panels of celebrity guests as they discussed the week's tabloid news stories and eventually evolved to include insane games and challenges. The final season, which aired its final episode on May 26, included celebrity guests Big Narstie, Rachel Riley, Joe Swash, Katherine Ryan, Aston Merrygold and more.
