Celebrity Juice - Panelists

Panelists

The show's regular team captains are Holly Willoughby and Fearne Cotton, occasionally, guest captains will fill in for Willoughby or Cotton when they are absent for personal reasons, with Emma Bunton, Chris Moyles and Jonathan Ross being the most notable guest captains, for the ninth series Kelly Brook replaced Fearne Cotton while she was on maternity leave. The show also features a regular comedic pannelist, who usually appears on Fearne's, or Kelly's, team. Having appeared during the first series twice, Rufus Hound was hired as a regular panelist on Cotton's team from the second series onwards, although he left the show during the seventh series for undisclosed reasons. From the eighth series onwards, Chris Ramsey took up a semi-regular role on Cotton or Brook's team to replace Hound, although he only makes around three regular appearances per series. Lemon is also renowned for mocking both team captains, often referring to Willoughby as "Holly Willoughbooby" and mocking Cotton for her large nostrils and small breasts, also having given her the nickname "Dot Cotton", and generally favours Willoughby's team over Cotton's. During the ninth series, he also often refers to the fact that Brook was sacked from several of her previous television projects.

As well as several guest pannellists who have appeared regularly on the show, the VT round, which features Lemon taking on a particular celebrity in a pre-arranged challenge, also features regular guests, with Verne Troyer having appeared since series two, Jedward having appeared since series three, David Hasselhoff having appeared since series five, the cast of Coronation Street having appeared since series eight, and Rylan Clark having appeared since series nine. The first series featured The Bear from Bo' Selecta! in this role, interviewing mystery celebrity guests to allow the team captains or panellists to guess who he was talking about. In the cover stories round, which also features a celebrity guest, a particular category entitled Doggy Style also features, in which a bulldog appears dressed as a particular celebrity. Gary the dog appeared until series eight, due to his death in 2012, and Spud the dog has appearance since series eight, having replaced him.
