Kiss Kiss: While there’s nothing to suggest the pair were anything more than friends, Joey was also seen planting a kiss on Emily’s cheek as the cast celebrated the show’s finale.
The 49-year-old comedian, who hosts the long-running comedy series, admitted he felt “sad” about the end of the show and became “emotional” when he filmed the last episode.
Keith, whose real name is Leigh Francis, said: ‘It’s been 14 years of my life. Maya Jama, who is in the last episode, told me that she started watching it when she was seven years old.
‘Not sure what a seven year old is doing watching Juice, she should have been in bed! But yeah, that made me feel old.
Oh no! Holly Willoughby was also seen taking a fall while she was wrestling with her co-stars during her return to Celebrity Juice.
“I think when I look back I’ll think yes, that was a big part of my life.” It’s rare to do a show for that long, but it was fun! The best times! I feel a bit sad, but it’s also exciting to see what happens next!’
Reflecting on his farewell from the show, Keith admitted that he “cried” and hugged his wife Jill Carter as she walked offstage after filming wrapped.
I got a little emotional at the end. I don’t think that’s fashionable. I was kind of in an emotional bubble of sorts,” she continued.
