ITV's You Bet! is just the latest disappointing Saturday night entertainment show to waste Willoughby's talent
Stephen Mulhern and Holly Willoughby aren’t a comedy double act, but at least they get on yelling at the top of their lungs as a man in a JCB pulls wheelies in front of a baying studio audience. And that was just the opening stunt on the channel’s new cheesy game showWhile the first episode felt like a mutant mash-up of Simon Cowell and Ant and Dec’s greatest hits, this is, in fact, a reboot from the 80s.
A panel of celebs – Rob Beckett, Alison Hammond, Harry Redknapp and Rosie Ramsey – made bets on whether the contestants would excel at or fail their challenges There was lots of gurning and grinning – mostly from Mulhern, who offered hugs of encouragement to the contestants and pumped his fist with enthusiasm when they succeeded – while Willoughby smiled politely regardless of what madness was happening in front of her.. This is her first new job since she left the ITV morning show in October 2023, though it wasn’t a huge stretch of her abilities as a host.
She and Mulhern don’t yet possess the “best friends having a giggle together” chemistry she shared with Phillip Schofield in the prime oftogether last January. They are no comedy double-act in the making – but at least it’s believable that they do actually get along .
