Emily Atack and Laura Whitmore will join Keith Lemon as the new permanent team captains on Celebrity Juice, ITV has confirmed.
The long-running ITV2 panel show was in need of new faces following the double departure of Holly Willoughby and Mel B earlier this year and now the show has recruited Atack and Whitmore, both of whom have been regular guests in the last few years.
"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," said Atack, known for The Inbetweeners and I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!
"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!"
Whitmore, who took over as host of Love Island earlier this year, 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!"
The new series is expected to begin on ITV2 next month.
