However, in December 2018, Fearne announced she was quitting the show to pursue other projects, saying: 'After ten years of complete fun, I have decided to leave Celebrity Juice. It has been a joy to be part of this magnificent show and I wish the team the very best in future series.'

With the next series due to start in March, Fearne's replacement has now been announced as Take Me Out host Paddy McGuinness - but many fans were left disappointed, as they'd hoped the job would go to Emily Atack. Emily has appeared on the show several times as a guest and is a good friend of Leigh Francis (aka Keith Lemon).

Alongside Paddy, singer turned TV personality Stacey Solomon - who has just announced that she is expecting her third child - has also been announced as a series regular.
