Wonderfully daft… but too much sauce in Lemon’s Juice
Whenever I read about Holly Willoughby being shocked by sex talk on This Morning, I take it with a massive pinch of salt. Holly has done 16 series of Celebrity
Juice with Keith Lemon. Surely she is unshockable by now.
Trust me, that bloke on Holly and Phil’s couch with his sex doll had nothing on the stream of filth Keith served up as he welcomed Holly back to ITV2 last night.
I know Keith only does it to provoke a response, and to pander to the yoof audience, but it’s probably time to tone it down a bit.
It can overshadow what is really good about Celebrity Juice.
Namely, the daft games Keith and the team come up with to make the celebrity contestants look silly and/or human. Their latest effort, Arrr Gosssh! would have done Vic Reeves and Bob Mortimer proud.
It involved the contestants being genetically spliced with items from the Argos catalogue.
That resulted in Holly spending the rest of the show with a metal saucepan strapped to her head and Fearne Cotton wearing a Wendy House as a dress.
It was peak Celebrity Juice and certainly a lot more fun than one of last night’s other games, The Great British Love Off, which had clearly only been included to make Kem and Chris from Love Island feel welcome.
It was a nice gesture, but I can’t condone any TV show trying to make Love Island contestants feel welcome. They’ve had their 15 minutes of fame.
Obviously, I wish them all the best with their attempts to milk it by endorsing whatever brands they can on social media.
I just don’t need to see them on the TV ever again.
