Michelle Keegan finally confirms if she will replace Holly Willoughby on Celebrity Juice

Michelle Keegan has finally addressed rumours that she is joining Celebrity Juice.

The much-loved actress, 32, recently finished filming her last ever episode of hit BBC One drama Our Girl.

After Holly Willoughby, 38, decided to bid farewell to Celebrity Juice after 12 years, Michelle was speculated to fill her place.

Since her departure, die-hard fans have been busy compiling a list of stars who they feel could do a good job of filling Holly's shoes.

Much to her surprise, Michelle was at the top of the list to take the role of Team Captain alongside host and funny man Keith Lemon.

Despite the speculation, the brunette beauty - who is currently isolating at home with her husband Mark Wright - broke her silence on the matter during an interview on The One Show.

Chatting to Alex Jones and Gethin Jones via video chat from her lavish living room, Michelle shut down the rumours.

The former Coronation Street actress insisted that she was a massive fan of the show and has been for years.

Both herself and hunky husband Mark Wright have made appearances on the show, and both were a hit with fans.

Despite this, she admitted that she's definitely not 'in talks' with Celebrity Juice bosses to join the show, but there is still hope.

Michelle explained: "I can officially say that's not true. Don't get me wrong, I'm a massive fan of the show.

"I love the show, I find it hilarious. But, at the minute, no, no, that's not true."

Other front runners tipped to take Holly's place include I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here finalist Emily Atack who appeared on it fairly recently, and sent Keith into overdrive by sharing a kiss with Spice Girl Mel B.

Ladbrokes also reckon that Scarlett Moffatt is a solid bet, and fans know from Gogglebox she's got the comedy chops to stand her own ground.

Kelly Brook is another babe who is tipped to join the popular show as herself and Keith are close mates by now.

Kelly has turned up on the show, and even starred in his film, aptly named Keith Lemon: The Movie.

Her rapport with pal Keith is already well established in fans' minds, so she won't take much introduction.

It comes just days after This Morning host Holly announced she'd quit the show, thanking the crew for an amazing 12 years.

Sharing an emotional message on Instagram, Holly wrote: "Thank you @celebjuiceofficial for 12 years of fantastic chaos.

"I can’t quite believe what we’ve done and how quick that time has gone".
