Cotton and Willoughby were the original team captains from the show's inception in 2008 until 2018 and 2020, respectively. Cotton was replaced by Paddy McGuinness and then Mel B until former Love Island host Laura Whitmore took over in 2020.
Willoughby was replaced by I'm a Celebrity alum Emily Atack. But both of the original captains will now return for Celebrity Juice: The Happy Ending, which is the show's final ever episode and will air on Thursday, December 8.

In a press release, Lemon said: “I’ve already said this, but it’s been the best party ever. But as always there comes a point when the party has to end. It’s been the most ace times and we’re gonna go out with a bang!….tidy!”
It was announced earlier this year that the ITV show would be ending. At the time, Lemon said: "I remember doing the first episode thinking wow that was fun!"
