Emily Atack and Laura Whitmore have been announced as the new team captains on ITV2’s Celebrity Juice, which will now be known as Celeb Juice. They will be replacing team captains Holly Willoughby and Mel B.

Comedy actor 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.”

Broadcaster 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 cannot wait to get stuck.”

Celeb Juice host Keith Lemon commented: “Can’t wait to start new celeb juice with old friends. Exciting times ahead! The funnest job ever!”
