To be a regular alongside captains aptains Emily Atack and Laura Whitmore

Maya Jama is to become a regular on Keith Lemon’s Celebrity Juice.

She will appear alongside team captains Emily Atack and Laura Whitmore when the panel show returns for its 25th series on ITV2 next week.

Jama, who shot to fame as co-host of Peter Crouch: Save Our Summer last year,  said: ‘I never have any idea quite what's going to unfold on Celeb Juice, but I do know it's always going to be hilarious and super fun.

‘It's a show I dreamed about going on when I was growing up and so I'm beyond thrilled to become a regular on the show and be given the opportunity to share the panel with some of my favourite people. Bang Tidy!’

Captains Atack – who has just been given a second series of her own ITV2 show -  and Whitmore only joined the show last series  replacing previous regulars Holly Willoughby and Fearne Cotton.

Jama, who made several appearances on Celebrity Juice last series, is also a regular on ITV2’s Don't Hate The Playaz. She follows in the footsteps of Gino D'Acampo and Rufus Hound as a regular guest panellist.

The panelists in next week’s show, to air at 10pm on Thursday, also include comedian Judi Love and reality star Jamie Laing.
