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.

“It might seem a shock but he was everyone’s number one,” a source told the Mirror.

“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.

I’m a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! finalist Emily Atack has also been tipped to replace Fearne.
