‘You Bet!' is making a return to ITV this autumn for two specials fronted by Holly Willoughby and Stephen Mulhern.
Crammed full of epic challenges, mind-blowing feats, big name celebrities and nail-biting suspense, ‘You Bet!' is back with a fresh new update. Members of the public will use their unique abilities to pull off the most outrageous challenges imaginable, all for the chance of winning a big cash prize.
Based on the original ZDF format ‘Wetten Dass?’, ‘You Bet!' is commissioned for a 2 x 75 run produced by Rollercoaster Television (part of ITV Studios), where a panel of celebrities and the studio audience must predict if each challenger can complete the extraordinary challenge with which they are faced. Guess correctly and points are added to the celebrities’ score, based on the percentage of studio audience who voted the same way.
At the end of the show, the studio audience vote for their favourite challenger who takes home a whopping £10,000. At the same time, the celebrity with the highest score wins £10,000 for their chosen charity, while the celebrity with the lowest score takes on the entertaining final forfeit.
With a host of special celebrity guests, jaw-dropping skills, lots of surprises and fun for all the family, it's all to play for! Do you want to bet on it? You Bet!
Willoughy said: “I’m so excited to be part of this iconic game show with the fabulous Stephen Mulhern. 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.”
Mulhern said: “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.”
Katie Rawcliffe, Head of Entertainment Commissioning ITV said: “'You Bet!' is part of a stellar entertainment line up for ITV and ITVX this Autumn, and we are thrilled to have Holly Willoughby and Stephen Mulhern at the helm.
“It’s great to be able to bring back this legendary game show alongside the likes of returning entertainment favourites ‘I’m A Celeb…', ‘The Voice' and The NTAs, plus brand new series ‘Password', ‘Romesh Ranganathan’s Parents’ Evening' and ‘Dress the Nation'.”
James Fox and Dom Waugh, joint MDs of Rollercoaster Television said: “Are we excited about bringing this much-loved format back to ITV? ‘You Bet!' Does it promise to be a nostalgic treat for all the family? You Bet! Will viewers be thinking, ‘There’s no way they can do that with a digger?’ You Bet!”
