When is You Bet! On Tour on TV?

With reboots of shows such as Gladiators, Big Brother and Deal or no Deal in recent years, it was announced in 2024 that another iconic show would be making a comeback to our screens, this time in the form of 80s challenge show You Bet!

ITV/STV bosses announced the show would be making a comeback, with popular presenters Holly Willoughby and Stephen Mulhern teaming up to host the two 75-minute episodes in December. The show was so popular that bosses commissioned it for a second run, called You Bet! On Tour.

Is it getting another series?

Following the success of the reboot in 2024, You Bet! has been commissioned for a second series, with new episodes airing now. The new series is called You Bet! On Tour.

What is You Bet! On Tour?

You Bet! On Tour will see Stephen Mulhern leave the studio and go on tour across the country with a panel of celebrity guests.

Speaking about the second series, Stephen Mulhern said: "I’m absolutely thrilled that You Bet! is back - and 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."

A description of the show reads: 'With the panel closer to the action than ever before, they must predict whether each plucky challenger can complete their challenge… or not! From supersized adrenaline-fueled action to smaller, quirkier skills, each challenger is competing for a £5,000 cash prize, while the panellists vie to become that week’s You Bet Champion.'

How many episodes are there?

For You Bet! On Tour, there will be six 60 minute episodes and a 60 minute Christmas special.

In the first series there were just two 75 minute episodes.

When is it on TV?

You Bet! On Tour started on Saturday 30th August 2025, with new episodes every Saturday night for six weeks.

How can I apply?

Applications for series two are now closed.

Who hosts the show?

Dancing On Ice hosts Holly and Stephen presented the rebooted series, but only Stephen will return for You Bet! On Tour.

Earlier this year, it was revealed that Holly would not be returning to host the show. A spokesperson for ITV told Radio Times: "Unfortunately, Holly couldn't commit to the dates to host the new series of You Bet!, but will hopefully appear as a guest panellist on one of the shows in the new series."

It has now been confirmed that she will appear in the celebrity panel during the second series.

Who is on the celebrity panel?

The panel for the second series has now been confirmed to include former host Holly Willoughby, along with Zoe Ball, Rob Beckett, Alex Brooker, Rylan Clark, Alesha Dixon, Alison Hammond, Babatunde Aléshé, Josie Gibson, Danny Jones, Eddie Kadi, Judi Love, Oti Mabuse, Nick Mohammed, AJ Odudu, Will Best, Greg Rutherford, Adam and Ryan Thomas, Johnny Vegas and Josh Widdicombe.

Comedian Rob Beckett sat on the panel for series one. He was joined by singer Olly Murs, Bake Off host Alison Hammond, England footballer Mary Earps, Loose Women star Judi Love, podcaster Rosie Ramsey, and former football manager Harry Redknapp.

What channel is it on?

You Bet! aired on ITV and ITVX, and STV and STV Player for viewers in Scotland. You Bet! On Tour will also air in the same places.

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!”
