Holly Willoughby, 38, is a regular fixture on the ITV2 show Celebrity Juice but will not be appearing on an upcoming episode of the comedy programme. Amanda Holden, 48, revealed she will be stepping in as a temporary replacement whilst Holly is away from her slot. The Britain’s Got Talent star broke the news in a sizzling Instagram post, which saw her dressed in a tight red leather ensemble. In view of her one million followers, she said: “Finally caved and did @celebrityjuiceofficial #teamcaptain in @hollywilloughby absence #glam @itsdash @karl_willett.” Unsurprisingly the stunning snap caught the attention of her fans and celebrity friends alike, gaining over 33,000 likes.
Celebrity Juice host, Keith Lemon said: “You were fantastic! See ya tonight!”
Good Morning Britain host, Susanna Reid quipped: “Oh my days,” while Strictly Come Dancing star and Pussycat Dolls signer Ashley Roberts left three flames emojis.
Amanda will appear on Celebrity Juice alongside singer James Meredith, comedians Chris Ramsey and Jimmy Carr, Charlotte Hawkins and Paddy McGuinness.
Meanwhile, the Britain’s Got Talent judge has recently returned to the ITV talent competition and revealed she would never “voluntarily leave” the show.
The beauty who has appeared on the show since it began in 2007, said: “Simon’s already discussing next year and has said he wants us all back but you never know!
“I’d like to be back, I can’t ever imagine not doing it.”
She continued: “When I do leave I want it to be on my terms, so I’ll be like, ‘If you’re sacking me then give me a heads up and I’ll do a speech about giving up my chair for someone else!’.
“I’ll never voluntarily go, I love this show too much and I just think that for as long as it’s going I want to be a part of it.”
Meanwhile, Holly Willoughby has since returned to her daytime show This Morning alongside her co-star Phillip Schofield following their Easter break.
The blonde beauty has a close bond with her ITV co-host and has been a regular fixture on the show since 2009.
Earlier this month, the beauty spilled on reports of the initial differences in their wages in a candid interview with Sunday Times magazine as she labelled him the “biggest feminist”.
She told the publication: “You know, the biggest feminist I know is Phil.
“The first person that will be standing up screaming from the rooftops would be him, and so it was never an issue.”
In 2017, it was revealed the mother-of-three was set to get a £200,000 pay rise to match Phillip’s.
Holly said: “If there was a pay gap, it wasn’t just because I was a woman, that wasn’t what it was. I think it was that Phil had been there for such a long time.”
This Morning airs weekdays at 10.30 am and Celebrity Juice airs tonight at 10pm on ITV.
