“I said, ‘You’re going to tell me you’re leaving, aren’t you?’ and she said, ‘Yes, it’s been 12 great years but I want to spend time with the family’.”
On his close relationship with Holly, Keith add: “I’m gutted, she was like my TV sister. She’s welcome back any time. I’ll properly miss her.
“It’s weird not being able to say goodbye to her in person at the moment. A virtual hug isn’t the same as a real one. I’ll miss Holly’s hugs.”
Mum-of-three Holly, 39, who joined host Keith’s Celebrity Juice as a team captain alongside Fearne Cotton in 2008, said: “Keith Lemon, where to begin? I remember starting this journey with you and saying, ‘I think this might work’. My goodness me, it did."
Keith Lemon says he was ‘shocked’ by Holly Willoughby quitting Celebrity Juice - and doesn't know who'll replace her
