STAKING THEIR REPUTATION

Pals Stephen Mulhern and Holly Willoughby have teamed up to bring Saturday night TV classic You Bet! back to our screens

Gladiators, Deal Or No Deal and Big Brother have all been revived over the past year, so it was only a matter of time before ITV's You Bet! returned to our screens.

The classic game show, which originally aired in the 80s and 90s, challenges ordinary people to take on extraordinary tasks for the chance to win a huge prize pot.

However, for new presenters Holly Willoughby and Stephen Mulhern, You Bet! means more to them than just another reboot.

"I remember watching You Bet! as a kid, and I loved it," Holly, 43, says. "For me, it felt like true Saturday night telly.

"I remember being glued to the TV while watching a digger pick up six delicate eggs in its giant jaws and placing them on egg cups, all in a minute. I remember looking at my dad who was equally as enthralled as I was." Stephen, 47, adds, "Every time I've been asked if there was a show that I could ever bring back, I've always said You Bet! So now is the chance for younger viewers who have never seen the show before to enjoy it and the older audience to reminisce and also see the show being brought up to date." Holly left This Morning and her on-screen partnership with Phillip Schofield last year, and has seamlessly established herself and old pal Stephen as

ITV's new presenting duo with Dancing On Ice and now You Bet! under their belts.
