AFTER 14 years of raunchy games and outrageous innuendos, Celebrity Juice has been axed by ITV, with host Keith Lemon paying tribute to the show.
The star – real name Leigh Francis – took to Twitter on Wednesday morning to confirm the news.
Celebrity Juice first aired in September 2008, initially with Holly Willoughby and Fearne Cotton as team captains and Keith as the host.
The Inbetweeners’ Emily Atack and Love Island’s Laura Whitmore went on to fill the positions, and now the show will conclude later this year with two farewell specials celebrating the show’s most memorable episodes.
Ahead of this, we select some of the most outrageous moments from the show’s 14-year history.
Holly Willoughby’s banana drama
Cheeky host Keith was certainly not shy when it came to making the panellists undergo raunchy challenges, and up there among the most X-rated was Totally Bananas Extreme.

The task was outrageous yet simple – make it round an obstacle course with your partner, while holding different ends of the same banana in their mouths, Lady and the Tramp style.
And when Holly Willoughby and Fearne Cotton gave it a go, the scene quickly went viral.
Mark Wright and Joel Dommett also caused a stir, playing it while topless for a “very erotic” version.
‘Love a 69’
Viewers were left shocked last year when presenter and regular panellist Maya Jama joined Emily Atack’s team and made a racy sex confession.
Tasked with trying to work out what sexy word the other contestants were acting out while jumping on a trampoline, Maya let slip during Joe Swash’s turn.
Correctly guessing the answer as ’69”, she left viewers blushing as she commented: “Love a 69”.
Taco or leave it
Actions quite often spoke louder than words on the show, as Maura Higgins proved while tasked with seductively eating a taco.
The Love Island star gave it her best shot, taking a bite before licking the filling.
Later in the same show Mel B and actress Emilia Fox also gave her a run for her money in the saucy stakes, as thy both attempted to sexily eat a corn on the cob, both taking an end each.
Motorboating the ‘naked chef’
Viewers and stars alike got a shock during a parody game inspired by Ant and Dec’s Saturday Night Takeaway.
Keith Lemon put on a very different version of ‘Win the Ads’ for Declan Donnelly in 2014.
The Geordie presenter was challenged with ‘motorboating’ a topless woman wearing a chef’s hat, while the audience cheered him on.
While he joked around asking “have we met before?”, he politely declined the opportunity despite being inches from the woman’s bosom – so Keith took on the task instead.
Really massive balls
When appearing on the show back in 2016, EastEnders star Danny Dyer decided to use the opportunity to clear up a few things.
Addressing rumours about the actor, Keith Lemon asks: “Is it true you have really massive balls?”
Danny replies: “I’ve got one massive b*****k, yeah… it weighs a f***ing ton.
“I’d love to whack it out, can I whack it out?”
After the audience cheer him on, Danny reveals his tackle to Holly, who is sat next to him, and her shocked reaction seems to confirm the rumour is, indeed, true.
Special sex toy ‘gift’
When joined by Mark Wright in 2018, Keith Lemon gave the former Towie star an unusual sex toy to spice up his then-long distance relationship with wife Michelle Keegan.
Handing Mark an iPad holder with an image of Michelle on screen and a male sex toy attached to it, Keith explains: “Because we’re pals, what I’ve done is got you a gift because I’ve not seen you for a while, it’s for you and Michelle actually.
“So when you Facetime I mean you can just feel a bit closer. Here it is…so you hold it like this yeah and you Facetime, but what’s great about it is, it has a m***e there,” he said, showing off the device.
‘Gooey’ guessing game
Not one to shy away from a task, Holly Willoughby made a lasting impression when she played a ‘warm-up game’ before hosting I’m A Celeb.
Blindfolded by Alan Carr, the star had to lick the rim of a box, and guess what she was licking.
“Just stick your little tongue in,” Alan Carr tells her as she squeals in anticipation before ‘rimming’ the container and tasting the “gooey” contents – which is chocolate mousse.
Awkward Styles gag
There’s no denying over the years Celeb Juice attracted some big name guests, and one such star was Perrie Edwards .
But no one was safe from a risqué joke or two, and while wearing a mask, Keith quite literally put words in the star’s mouth, re-enacting Perrie talking to Zayn Malik, her then boyfriend.
Pretending to be Perrie, he says: “Why don’t we just go home and have vigorous love?

“And why don’t you bring Harry so he can watch.”
While unable to speak, Perrie’s wide eyes revealed exactly what she thought.
