Great news for fans of ITV gameshows! The network has just confirmed that Holly Willoughby will be returning to co-host the revival of the hit show, You Bet!, with Stephen Mulhern. Originally airing in the late 80s and early 90s, the show was a huge success and featured legendary host Sir Bruce Forsyth. And now, after over two decades, it's back with a brand new format and even more excitement!
The new version of You Bet! promises to be bigger and better than ever before. With epic challenges, mind-blowing feats, and big-name celebrities, viewers will be on the edge of their seats as they witness nail-biting suspense unfold on their screens. Holly, who previously hosted This Morning, shared her excitement about the show, saying, "I'm so excited to be a part of this iconic game show with the fabulous Stephen Mulhern. I can't wait to see the astonishing skills of the challengers and which celebrity panelist will come out on top."
Although the show's return is definitely something to be excited about, it's worth mentioning that Holly's previous departure from ITV's This Morning was surrounded by controversy. Allegations of a plot to kidnap, rape, and murder her emerged, leading to the imprisonment of a security guard. However, Holly has since returned to the network, hosting Dancing on Ice alongside Stephen Mulhern, who replaced Phillip Schofield after his resignation.
Holly and Stephen have quite the history together, having previously hosted the Saturday morning children's show Ministry of Mayhem in 2004. And now, they are reuniting once again to bring back the beloved You Bet! to our screens. Stephen also expressed his excitement, saying, "I loved You Bet! as a kid, so I'm very excited to be hosting this with the wonderful Holly Willoughby. From the big and spectacular to the unique and unexpected, I can't wait to see what extraordinary skills the challengers have up their sleeves."
The show will air two action-packed primetime specials, with a panel of celebrities and a studio audience predicting if each challenger can complete their extraordinary challenge. The audience's votes will determine the points added to the celebrities' scores, and the challenger with the most votes will take home a prize of £10,000. The celebrity with the highest score will win £10,000 for their chosen charity, while the one with the lowest score will have to take on a final forfeit.
