The quality of Celebrity Juice varies depending on who the guests are and the games that are played. However, even during the worst episodes, I am still entertained. No other show has had me in tears from laughter with my cheeks hurting from smiling as much as Celebrity Juice. This show is extremely lewd. If you don't like low brow comedy, stay away.

I was interested to see where Leigh Francis would take "Keith Lemon". After seeing "Keith" appear in "Bo Selecta" and "Very Brilliant World Tour", Leigh has developed "Keith" further. The "game show format" just provides a platform for "lurid comedy escapades". I watched my first episode with tears of laughter streaming down my face. Im not a fan of the game show, thats not really a game show where there are a panel and each side just tries to be funnier than the other, but this works and is hilarious because the guests are put through some of the funniest stuff I have ever seen! My only negative is the continued use of Jedward, but the games in which they are involved are mildly amusing and Keith often steals the lime light, so its only a minor negative. I look forward to watching every week.....Shhh Ting!!

Some fantastic moments and the early years were fantastically funny, however it seems in recent years the ideas has run dry. Now we have "Mel B" she is awful. To avoid disappointment simply miss out the last 3 to 4 series' (2017-2020). Mel B stopped me watching the show, so she is a powerful influence in all the wrong ways. Goog programme ruined.

Celebrity Juice is a quiz-com of sorts with A-Z Listers (usually comedians and pop stars) filling the seats of the panel and hosted by Keith Lemon (an alter ego of the comedian Leigh Francis.
Games consist of macabre requests designed to make the panel feel stupid, ugly or uncomfortable for the audience's pleasure. Sure, the experience isn't for everyone and can at times be somewhat puerile but if you know who Keith Lemon is already you'll know whether the show is for you or not. Some episodes are funnier than others but that's the nature of unscripted TV.
My favourite game has to be the one where Ant and Dec are put in a box and asked to feel around and guess what the item is. Google it, it's an absolute riot and my cheeks genuinely hurt from laughing when I first watched it.

The show is quite simple...Swear as crude as possible and reference sex as much as you can, whilst referencing women as sex objects!
It is probably one of the last shows on TV that has an undertone of sexual exploitation to it, which in partly is due to the fact it uses bodily humour as much as sexual humour, to be specific, if it was just demeaning to women it would have been canned a long time ago!
Sadly it has just become a show for C lister celebs to try and garner some attention, usually when having something to 'plug', and the humour element is now tired and dated. I often think that the show would be better suited as a chat show format, as the quiz element has long gone and the majority of challenges are now just tired, dated and unfunny.
Keith Lemon, as he likes to be called, does have a naturally funny style of questioning and as such could be probably do better trying something new, before he is eclipsed by funnier people with a fresher format of TV.

Have loved Celebrity Juice for years but the last season and this current season is utter garbage. Same old jokes but with two terrible team captain's. Time to end it as it's just not what it used to be.

I was a big fan of leigh francis previous show Bo Selecta (yes, keith lem isnt his real name). Im not a fan of this character. The show is very crude and stupid with lots of annoying celebrities (jedward were very prominent earlier in the history). It is quite intresting though to see female celebrities subject to some quite gross humour. I watched tonights episode where there was talk of male and female genatalia. The girls are quite happy to go along with it it seems. I wont say too much in case my comment is rejected!
Wont be long before the woke brigade will ban it... for misogyny or whatever.. i dunno, id say its half good half bad. Maybe its time leigh gave the lemon character arest though.. its been 14 years ?? The new captains are okay and do refresh it a bit.

The concept was good and the guests were very funny (This episode had Al Murray, Holly Valance and a few others I have never heard of before), but the "host" was a tool. It started off like an English version of the Aussie TV show 'Good News Week' and I thought it might have had a bit of potential, but after watching one episode I just wanted to gouge my eyes out and wear headphones playing white noise at high volume! He was not funny and the show seemed to revolve around his antics, yelling and stupid voices that just had me staring in disbelief. I do understand that the host is obviously playing some sort of character but it did not make it any funnier, perhaps if he was just being normal it would have had more appeal to me.
With a different host this show would be a lot better. It is clearly popular in the UK as it has survived for 8 seasons now, but I cannot get past the host, he just grates on me too much. I can see why channel seven (Aussie local station) ran it so late at night.
I have no intentions of watching another episode, I would rather be water boarded.
Sorry to the fans of this show, to which there seem to be many, but to me the host ruined too much!

What I have seen of Celebrity Juice is just a group of people shouting, swearing and acting totally stupid.
After axing good drama like Heartbeat and The Royal, looks like ITV used the money on trash like this and The Only Way is Essex, which is even worse. Celebrity Juice is rude and offensive, certainly not funny and just pointless.
Hosted by Kieth Lemmon, all he does is shout and show off, acting stupid.
Certainly time ITV axed this garbage.
Rating: 0 stars out of 5.

This is rubbish. And yet it wins awards?! There truly doesn't seem to be any justice in the TV world.
Leigh Francis is a clever bloke. He's created this monstrous TV persona Keith Lemmon, and the whole world believes that's actually who he is. For a guy who is capable of playing more though I wonder how secretly happy he is to be stuck as this annoying character.
The format here is daft, often rude, and at times very silly. And yet celebs (and I use that word loosely) seem to be queuing up to appear on it.
Utterly baffling.

Celebrity Juice was a refreshing change to the normality and prudishness of most TV offerings. Unfortunately it's descended into base, crude and demeaning farce. Lee Francis appears to have no limits to his crudeness, exploitation of desperate attention by any means guests and disgusting distasteful brand of humour.
There is a line, a line which is good if crossed from time to time. Pushing boundaries has merit. However, celebrity juice is rooted firmly on the grubby, sleazy side of this line. At best Francis behaviour is crude and sleazy, at worst it is creepy and sinister.

For the first few series this was arguably one of the funniest shows on television. The original premise of the show was to see which team knows most about the week's tabloid news stories, but the later series focus more on the comedy factor of the participating celebrity guests and various games involving them rather than discussing the week's news. This doesn't make the show any funnier, many of these games are just puerile instead of remotely entertaining. The quality of the guests also got worse and this led to the show being much less funny. Leigh Francis is good as the fictional ladies man Keith Lemon but he can, especially in the later series, become very repetitive and annoying. Though it was poor by the end, I do miss it a bit now it's gone.
