Popular TV presenter Paddy McGuinness will reportedly replace Fearne Cotton on Celebrity Juice, after she announced she was leaving the show last year.
Already a regular guest on the comedy panel show, which also features Keith Lemon and Holly Willoughby, Paddy will take up a permanent spot on the panel in a bid to boost ratings.
A source told The Mirror, “It might seem a shock but he was everyone’s number one. When he’s on Celebrity Juice, the ratings shoot up to their highest. Bosses are hoping he will be a ratings winner.”
Keith, real name Leigh Frances, and Paddy already enjoy a professional career together, both starring on the Keith & Paddy Picture Show, a comedy spoof show where the two of them take the mickey out of well-known films.

Fearne announced she was leaving in December after ten years on the show, which features celebrity guests like Gino D’Acampo, Stacey Solomon and Joe Swash.
“After ten years of complete fun, I have decided to leave Celebrity Juice,” said Fearne at the time.
“It has been a joy to be part of this magnificent show and I wish the team the very best in future series.”
After she made the announcement, best friend Holly posted her own touching tribute to her co-host on her Instagram.
“I’m going to miss you being on the other side of my banana… thank you for 10 years of laughter… love you @fearnecotton … we are going to MISS you on @celebjuiceofficial SOOO much xxxx."
Despite the reports, Paddy or ITV are yet to confirm who will be replacing Fearne.
Celebrity Juice is due to return later in the year.
