Keith Lemon has paid tribute to Celebrity Juice after confirming the panel show has been cancelled after 14 years.

The series launched on ITV2 in 2008 with Lemon as the host. He was originally joined by Fearne Cotton and Holly Willoughby.

Across nearly 300 episodes and 26 series on ITV, the award-winning show has seen Keith play the wildest games and share the biggest laughs with famous faces from Ed Sheeran to Pamela Anderson.

In a statement shared by ITV, Keith said: "I remember doing the first episode thinking wow that was fun! In the V/O in opening titles I said it was the best telly show on telly. Whatever you thought of it, it was definitely the best fun making it. An amazing team, and amazing guests, but all good things must come to an end.

"I’ll miss it, and everyone so much, but on to the next chapter and I look forward to going out in style on the specials! All t’ best and good luck with ya business!"

Keith also shared an emotional post on social media to heartbroken fans 👇

Paul Mortimer Director of Reality, Acquisitions and Controller, ITV2, ITVBe and CITV said: "Celebrity Juice and Keith have become firm favourites in the ITV2 schedule over the years, with Keith’s no holds barred humour and outrageous antics redefining the comedy panel show experience.

"It’s safe to say Celebrity Juice certainly won’t be forgotten in a hurry, and we’d like to thank all of the team at Talkback, and of course Keith and all of our team captains over the years for making Juice the infectious TV hit it’s become."
