1980s and 1990s gameshow You Bet! will return to ITV for two specials, hosted by Holly Willoughby (This Morning) and Stephen Mulhern (Deal or No Deal).
The show will see the audience and a celebrity panel vote on whether members of the public, or ‘challengers’, can pull off a series of intense challenges. The celebrities will receive a certain amount of points for their correct guesses, based on the percentage of the audience who also vote correctly.
The highest-scoring celebrity will win £10,000 for charity, while the celebrity who comes in last will face a forfeit. The audience will also vote for their favourite challenger, who will receive a £10,000 cash prize.
“I’m so excited to be part of this iconic game show with the fabulous Stephen Mulhern,” said Willoughby. “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.”
“I loved You Bet! as a kid, so I’m very excited to be hosting this with the wonderful Holly Willoughby,” said Mulhern. “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.”
You Bet! is based on a German show Wetten Dass..?, and originally aired on ITV from 1988 to 1997. The UK version’s first host was Bruce Forsyth, who hosted from the show’s inception and departed in 1990.
The specials will air on ITV1 and be available on ITVX in Autumn 2024.
