The second series of ITV’s You Bet! will feature Holly Willoughby as a guest star rather than a presenter, as the show takes to the road across the UK.
Hosted by Stephen Mulhern, the former hit 80s gameshow promises to be “bigger and braver” than last year’s first run.
Each of the six episodes will have a panel of celebrities who must predict whether or not the plucky challenger will complete their task.
As well as Holly, the celebrity panellists will include Zoe Ball, Rob Beckett, Alesha Dixon, Johnny Vegas, Alison Hammond, Josie Gibson, Danny Jones and Oti Mabuse.

Presenter Stephen last month told the Mirror he was “gutted” over Holly’s departure but appreciated that she’d rung him to tell him that she was pulling out.
After the demise of Dancing on Ice, which the pair also hosted together, Holly no longer has any TV shows on ITV. It has been reported that her Netflix show, Bear Hunt, in which celebrities tried to avoid capture by Bear Grylls, is not returning.

Stephen said: “It’ll be interesting to see what Holly’s going to do next really. I don’t know what.
“I’m gutted she’s not doing You Bet – but I’ve had time to think about it. We’ve filmed one episode already and it felt very comfortable and it felt good. And I think maybe it is just a one presenter show.
“Bruce Forsyth was the first person to do it, and he did it on his own. Matthew Kelly made it the best show on the telly. So maybe it’s happened for the right reasons.”

On the new show – You Bet on Tour – he added: “This time we’re hitting the road! Each week I’ll be joined by a top celeb panel, as our challengers take on some brilliantly bonkers and amazing challenges. With the title of You Bet Champion on the line, it’s going to be unbelievable from the start.”
