Keith Lemon hints that Emily Atack will replace Fearne Cotton on Celebrity Juice

The actress could be the show's new face

Rumours have been swirling that I’m A Celeb’s Emily Atack will replace Fearne Cotton on Celebrity Juice, and show host Keith Lemon dropped a hint today.

Speaking on Loose Women today (31 January) Keith pulled an awkward expression when he was questioned about whether it would be Emily filling the role.

The 45-year-old said: “I know who it is but I’m not allowed to say because of scheduling. We don’t know if the dates tally.”

It turns out that The Inbetweeners star Emily goes on tour around the time that filming for Celebrity Juice would begin, which would explain Keith’s comment about trying to match up dates.

The 28-year-old will begin her one-woman comedy tour, called Talk Thirty To Me, in April.

Emily and Keith, aka Leigh Francis, are good pals and have previously worked together.

Emily used to star in The Keith Lemon Sketch Show. She impersonated the likes of Michelle Keegan in her cameos.

So she would certainly be a natural fit for the Celebrity Juice family, which also includes Holly Willoughby.

Keith and Emily were recently seen filming a secret project together in London.

They were filmed jumping into a bed in a shop on Oxford Street, which caught the attention of the public.

One onlooker told The Sun: “Emily and Keith were in a bed shop together and were messing about right in front of the window so everyone could see them.

“They had two cameramen with them – one inside and one outside – who were filming their antics.”

Fearne announced she had decided to move on from Celebrity Juice in December last year, after a decade on the show.
