Appearing on today's Good Morning Britain, Keith opened up about Celebrity Juice and why it was axed.
He said the network had "probably" made the decision because he was "too old".
He added: "I don’t know who the guests are anymore. I say, ‘who is that?’ They’re from TikTok. I don’t know who they are. I always forget the names.”
The show will bow out with a number of specials, and Keith revealed: “One special will be a big party in the studio – very reminiscent of Juice and get old people back in.

"I don’t mean old people – more like All Stars. Unless they all say no and it’s just me crying into a bucket.
“Then a retrospective, where we’ll sit around a sofa – or just me on a sofa going ‘It’s over, what am I going to do’.”
Susanna Reid then asked how he would be spending his time once the show was over and he said he would be crafting.
He explained: "I make loads of things and post them on Instagram. Like movie props and things.”
