Holly Willoughby, who has been subjected to Keith Lemon’s NSFW pranks and jokes for years, may now be able to exact retribution for a sexually explicit prank involving a banana.
The 43-year-old former This Morning anchor will host a new survival show for Netflix titled Bear Hunt.
The programme, which also stars Bear Grylls, will drop British television superstars into the Central American jungle, where they will become prey for the 49-year-old survival expert.
While the lineup has yet to be verified, Leigh Francis, the man behind the Keith Lemon persona, is the first person believed to be travelling to Costa Rica to participate.
Not only that, but the filming location is one of the world’s top three banana exporting countries.
So, when Leigh, 50, famously enticed Holly into placing a banana into her mouth in a sexual manner on Celebrity Juice, it may be time for some retribution.
As per The Sun, filming is to begin in May with an all-star cast.
A TV source said: ‘Netflix are splashing the cash and all the celebrities taking part as contestants are bagging at least six figures.’
‘It won’t be a walk in the park, though,’ they insisted.
‘The celebs will learn survival skills and take part in challenges, before being hunted down by Bear himself.
‘Holly has the elevated role of host, so she won’t be getting her hands dirty.’
‘She’ll be perfectly placed to get her own back on her old pal,’ said the insider, alluding to trouble ahead for comedian Leigh.

Viewers will remember his nickname for her, ‘Holly Willoughbooby’, which was encouraged by Holly’s producer husband, Dan Baldwin.
Holly, along with fellow panellist and BFF Fearne Cotton, was lured into a variety of challenges and wicked games.
Leigh said previously: ‘When I do Juice, there’s often someone in my ear going, “Say this.”
‘Normally it’s Holly’s husband saying, “Say this bad thing to my wife”, and I’m like, “No way! I’m not saying that!”‘
Meanwhile, Holly is rumoured to be having second thoughts about hosting the upcoming Netflix series.
According to reports, the Dancing On Ice host feels bad about leaving her husband and three children behind while filming: son Harry, 14, daughter Belle, 12, and eight-year-old son Chester.
‘Holly will naturally miss her children and husband when she is away – she had lived in a lovely bubble with them while she took time off work. So it will be hard being away,’ a source claimed.
The insider continued to OK!: ‘Like so many mums, she feels that mum guilt as she tries to juggle family life with her TV career.
‘It’s something she’s spoken about openly in the past – and she also wants to show other mums that she is just the same, she feels it too.
‘But she knows that, ultimately, she is setting a good example to her little ones by being a working mum.’
In the past, Holly has addressed mum guilt, admitting it’s ‘normal’ and insisting she ‘loves [her] kids more than anything on this planet.’
