Holly Willoughby is returning to ITV and joining Stephen Mulhern to host a revival of You Bet! The gameshow, which originally aired from 1988 to 1997 with hosts including the late Sir Bruce Forsyth , will return this autumn, it’s been confirmed. It 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,’ former This Morning presenter Holly 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.’ Holly 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.
Earlier this year she returned to present Dancing On Ice on ITV alongside new host Stephen, who replaced Phillip Schofield after he resigned from the broadcaster having admitted to a relationship with a younger, male This Morning employee. Holly and Stephen previously presented ITV Saturday morning children’s show Ministry Of Mayhem together from 2004. He 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 t.
