Holly Willoughby is set to make her return to Celebrity Juice.

The panel show team captain has been taking a break for maternity leave with her third child, but will be back on screens for its 13th series this month.

While she was away, Holly’s seat was kept warm by celebrity chef Gino D’Acampo, who will be staying on at Celebrity Juice as a regular star, while Holly’s best friend Fearne Cotton, who is expecting her second baby, will return as the other team captain.

Holly said: “I’m so excited to be back and I cannot wait to see the whole Celebrity Juice gang again. Strangely, I’ve missed that strawberry blond man and it’s great that Gino is staying too – it’s going to be fun.”

Talkback managing director and Celebrity Juice executive producer Leon Wilson also said he was pleased to have Holly back: “We’ve all missed Holly so it’s great to have her back. Gino did a fantastic job covering and we’re glad he’s decided to stick around to complete our Juice family.”
