Stars rally around Keith Lemon as Celebrity Juice airs its last ever episode

Celebrity Juice is officially no more after the longstanding show aired its last ever episode. The final instalment of the comedy quiz aired on ITV2 on Thursday, December 8 and saw former team captains Holly Willoughby and Fearne Cotton return.

The episode, which was entitled Celebrity Juice: The Happy Ending, was jampacked with features and stars, including current team captains Emily Atack and Laura Whitmore and guests Will Mellor, Big Narstie, Maya Jama, Chris Ramsey, Joey Essex, Johnny Vegas and Joe Swash.

Features included Maya taking on the wibbly wobbly game, while Emily, Laura, Holly and Fearne belted out a rendition of Shania Twain's Man! I Feel Like A Woman. The chaotic farewell also saw Emily and Joey share a sneaky kiss, while Holly fell down the stairs backwards as she tried to steal a bit of cardboard from Fearne.

Celebrity Juice's axing was announced back in the summer with Leigh Francis, who fronts the show as his character 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."

And following the last episode, Keith posted a picture on social media of his hand with the word "fanks" scrawled across it, he wrote: "Fanks. The end! Goodnight, lotsa love x."

His co-stars and friends were quick to rally around him with Holly just sharing a crying emoji face while Fearne simply wrote: "You legend."

Meanwhile, Will Mellor wrote: "Thanks for the memories pal!!!" As Vicky Pattison added: "End of an era! But you smashed it son."

Marvin Hunes shared a heart and Kate Thornton wrote: "Bravo! What a run. What a show!"

Fans also showed their support, with one writing: "Thanks for giggles and Congratulations on 14 yrs of great show. I will miss Celebrity Juice on a Thursday night. Best of luck to all on new adventures."

While another added: "Gutted it finished. Me and my husband have watched this since it started won’t be the same." For more showbiz and television stories get our newsletter here.
