ITV is to bring back game show format You Bet!, fronted by Holly Willoughby and Stephen Mulhern, with two primetime event specials this Autumn.
Members of the public will attempt challenges 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 challenge with which they are faced. Guessed 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 £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 final forfeit.
Host Stephen 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.”
You Bet! is a Rollercoaster Television production (part of ITV Studios) for ITV1 and ITVX. The series has been commissioned by Katie Rawcliffe, Head of Entertainment Commissioning ITV and Louise Major, Entertainment Commissioning Editor ITV. The Executive Producers for Rollercoaster Television are Ben Aston and Jonny Lus.
