"Bring it on!”

Celebrity Juice is returning to the telebox this autumn with a new line-up after Holly Willoughby quit this summer.
The TV presenter, 39, stepped down after 12 years to spend more time with her three children and producer husband Dan Baldwin, 45.
Holly’s decision to quit Celebrity Juice comes after pal and fellow panellist Fearne Cotton, 38, left the series in 2018 to focus on new projects.
Paul Mortimer, ITV’s Head of Digital Channels and Acquisitions added: “The chemistry between Keith, Laura and Emily is sure to continue the infectious sense of fun and mayhem that ‘Juice’ fans love.
"I know the team have more crazy ideas planned for the new series and I can’t wait for ITV2’s viewers to enjoy them.”
