Holly Willoughby and Stephen Mulhern to host return of fan-favourite TV gameshow (Lucy North/PA) ITV gameshow You Bet! will return in the autumn with Holly Willoughby and Stephen Mulhern at the helm. The programme, which originally aired from 1988 to 1997 with hosts including the late Sir Bruce Forsyth, will feature “epic challenges, mind-blowing feats, big name celebrities and nail-biting suspense” in an updated format. “I’m so excited to be part of this iconic game show with the fabulous Stephen Mulhern,” Willoughby said.
“I’m looking forward to seeing the astonishing skills on show from the challengers and which of our celebrity panellists can come out on top.” Willoughby quit ITV’s This Morning after allegations of a plot to kidnap, rape and murder her emerged. Security guard Gavin Plumb was later jailed for life with a minimum term of 16 years.
Mulhern added: “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 return with two “action-packed primetime” specials with a panel of celebrities and the studio audience predicting “if each challenger can complete the extraordinary challenge with which they are faced”.
