EMILY ATACK AND LAURA WHITEMORE JOIN CELEBRITY JUICE

ITV have confirmed that comedian Emily Atack and Love Island presenter Laura Whitemore will join Celebrity Juice as team captains when the show returns to ITV2 this Autumn.

They replace Holly Willoughby and Mel B, who both announced they were leaving the show earlier this year.

Emily Atack said: “Every time I’ve been on Juice in the past I’ve had such a good time, and now I’m doing it with two of my best mates and I’m a ruddy team captain!!! Can’t believe it. I dread to think what we're going to be faced with, but Whitmore should know that I won’t be backing down and she is going to have some tough competition. But more importantly a wonderfully hilarious time. Bring it on!”

Laura Whitmore said: “I’m so thrilled to be part of the Celeb Juice Family. I’ve been the biggest fan for years, I used to go and sit in the audience when I first moved to London and can’t believe I’m a team captain now! I can’t wait to see what Keith has got lined up for Emily and I this series… From past experiences, nothing would surprise me. I cannot wait to get stuck in and lead my team to victory each week… I love you Emily, but watch out! I’m so excited to start!”
