Holly Willoughby ‘FLED’ the Celebrity Juice studio following Keith Lemon’s announcement he has COVID-19 symptoms during filming
She was her usual bubbly self when presenting Tuesday’s This Morning.
Yet Holly Willoughby was reportedly left ‘panicked’ as she fled the Celebrity Juice studio on Monday following host Keith Lemon’s announcement he has coronavirus-like symptoms.
The episode was hastily cancelled moments before filming began following Boris Johnson’s speech advising people to avoid all ‘non-essential’ contact with others.

The PM warned that the coronavirus was now in a phase of rapid spread across the UK, with London seeing a particular surge, and it was time to take radical action to stop the NHS being swamped.
Following the show’s cancellation, the confused audience were told to leave, reports The Sun.
With a coughing Lemon, real name Leigh Francis, reportedly apologising to fans and telling them he wanted to ‘soldier on’ despite having a high temperature of 38C.

The comedian was dressed as Bee Gees star Robin Gibb for the fancy dress show.
He took to Instagram before the show and said: ‘I don’t have coronavirus symptoms but I don’t feel 100%. Must be something else going around. Hope I don’t start feeling compelled to buy all the supermarket’s toilet paper stock!’ (sic)
Talking before the cancellation, Keith reportedly told fans heading to the ITV2 show: ‘I probably won’t give you a high five in case I give you what I’ve got.
Cancelled: Paddy McGuinness confirmed that the show had been cancelled for the time being due to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic on Monday
‘I’m just a bit dizzy and, as I say, achey and got a little cough but not worth talking about. I’m just really tired. I keep getting hot and cold.’
Paddy McGuinness confirmed that the show had been cancelled for the time being due to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic on Monday.
