Holly Willoughby is returning to ITV to host the revival of a classic 1990s gameshow.

The former This Morning presenter will be teaming up with her Dancing On Ice co-star Stephen Mulhern to present a revival of You Bet!, which has been off air for nearly 30 years.

The new version will mirror the original show – which aired on ITV between 1988 and 1997 – in which a panel of celebrities and the studio audience predicts whether contestants can complete a variety of unique challenges.

At the end of the episode, the audience votes for their favourite challenger who will take home £10,000, while the winning celebrity secures another £10,000 for a charity of their choice.

“I’m so excited to be part of this iconic gameshow with the fabulous Stephen Mulhern,” said Holly in a press statement.

“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.”

Stephen 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.”

Two specials are set to air later this year, though release dates are still yet to be announced.

The TV personality has slowly been returning to presenting duties since a man was sentenced to life in prison for plotting her kidnap, rape and murder.

In a statement released last month, Holly said that “as women we should not be made to feel unsafe going about our daily lives and in our own homes”.
