Another brand-new series of You Bet! is set to air on ITV with host Stephen Mulhern at the helm.

And now, someone who managed to secure a spot in the audience has revealed what the TV presenter, 48, is really like and what goes on behind the scenes.

They told the Daily Express: ‘Stephen was lovely. He made sure to go and greet every single audience member and allowed time for selfies and a quick chat.

‘It seemed like he really cared about his fans and, despite a busy filming schedule, he still made time for everyone who showed up.’

The fan went on to explain that there was one thing, however, that did surprise them.

They admitted: ‘As someone who is never on a TV set, I quickly learnt that there are some parts added in for dramatic effect. For example, the presenters were filmed giving several different reactions, as were the audience.’

The audience member added that they were asked to boo, clap, and cheer even while nothing was actually happening on the show, and it seemed like it was recorded so that editors could ‘cut it and pop it in wherever they pleased’.

They also noted that Stephen and guests cheering while nothing was happening left the audience ‘a bit perplexed’ but then they realised it was a little bit ‘fake’.

However, despite several elements of the show reportedly being ‘faked’, the audience member admitted that they still had a great time and can’t wait to see ‘how things are changed’ once the episode airs on TV.

MailOnline has contacted ITV and Stephen’s representative for comment.

The gameshow sees ordinary people with extraordinary skills take on major challenges in front of an audience in different areas around the country.

The new series will consist of six full-length episodes, and an additional Christmas special will be filmed in Cambridgeshire.

Speaking about the upcoming series, host Stephen 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.’

It comes after ITV suspended the filming of new game show You Bet! last month after a car fire caused havoc on set, MailOnline revealed.

Host Stephen was shooting a special Emmerdale segment of the returning hit series in Yorkshire when two fire engines were called out after a vehicle burst into flames.

The blaze subsequently spread to prop vans used by the show’s crews, destroying thousands of pounds worth of equipment, forcing bosses to abandon filming.

An eyewitness said: ‘It was carnage.

‘The blaze just started from a random vehicle, which then resulted in vans used by the crew also go up in flames.’

‘There was obvious panic, and it’s a miracle nobody was harmed.

‘The fire started within close proximity of the soap and thankfully didn’t spread inside where filming takes place.’

Stephen paid a visit to the Emmerdale set, which is filmed on the grounds of Harewood House, near Leeds, to shoot a challenge which will appear on the upcoming new series of You Bet!

Commenting on the fire, a spokesperson for You Bet! said: ‘Following an incident that was unrelated to filming, production for You Bet! was suspended as a precaution.

‘The situation was promptly assessed by the fire services and no one was injured or affected.

‘The health and safety of all individuals involved in the making of the programme remains our highest priority.’

A spokesperson for West Yorkshire Fire Service added, ‘We were called at 15.57 on Friday to reports of a small vehicle on fire on Harewood Avenue.

‘We sent two crews, Moortown and Wetherby.

‘On arrival, this was found to be two vehicles on fire, which crews extinguished. No reports of any injuries.

‘The cause has been recorded as accidental.’

You Bet! previously ran from 1988 to 1997, and former hosts have included Bruce Forsyth, Matthew Kelly and Darren Day.

The new series will take place outside of the studio for the entirety of each episode, with celebrities including Zoe Ball, Rob Beckett, Alex Brooker, Rylan Clark, Alesha Dixon, Alison Hammond, and Danny Jones joining Mulhern across on location.
