Holly Willoughby is said to be set for a huge payday this year as ITV have reportedly offered her a trio of new TV shows in a bid to ensure she stays with the channel. Despite stepping down from This Morning in 2023, Holly has remained with the channel to present Dancing On Ice and, more recently, rebooted show You Bet!.
You Bet! features Holly and Stephen Mulhern as co-hosts and kicked off in December with two specials. And according to The Sun, ITV have given Holly a full series of You Bet! after the two specials, which could lead to the channel giving her another Saturday night entertainment show, with the potential of a third game or quiz show too.
A source told the publication: " ITV chiefs are attempting to future-proof their relationship with Holly, who they very much see as having launched and nurtured her career on the network. "But they also understand she has earned her place as one of Britain’s biggest TV stars, and inevitably rivals will make her offers — so they feel they have to tempt her to stay. Of course, it’s entirely up to Holly if she takes up ITV’s deal or starts to consider her options elsewhere.” Mirror has contacted representatives of Holly and ITV for comment.
You Bet! started in 1988 hosted by the legendary Bruce Forsyth. During the '90s, Matthew Kelly and Darren Day also presented the show, which features ordinary people taking on incredible challenges for a large cash prize. ITV’s reboot has so far seen Holly and Stephen as co-hosts, accompanied by Alison Hammond, Rob Beckett, Harry Redknapp and Rosie Ramsay who along with the audience gamble on the outcomes of the whacky challenges.
