Last year, she and Stephen Mulhern co-hosted the revived version of You Bet!

Although the show is coming back for a second series, Holly will not be returning as co-host.

You Bet! viewers will see the star again nonetheless – as she’s appearing as a guest panelist this time around.

Renamed You Bet! On Tour, Stephen will take over solo hosting duties for the second outing.

Also confirmed for guest appearances are Rob Beckett, Josh Widdicombe, Zoe Ball, Rylan Clark and Babatunde Aleshe.

Each instalment of the seven-episode series – including a Christmas special – will take place a different location across the country.

Once again, the celebrity panel must decide whether or not challengers will complete their task.

Last month, Stephen opened up about continuing on as host without Holly.

Chatting to TV Biz, he said: “I’m gutted she’s not doing You Bet! with me, but I’ve had time to think about it and Bruce Forsyth was the first person to do You Bet! and he did it on his own.

“Matthew Kelly made it the best show on the telly.

You Bet fans complain as iconic show fronted by Holly Willoughby and Stephen Mulhern returns with missing feature
“And every time I’ve been interviewed and they say, ‘What show would you bring back?’, I’ve always said ‘You Bet!’.

“So maybe it happened for a reason. We’ve filmed one episode already without Holly, and it felt very comfortable. Maybe it is just a one-presenter show.

“I don’t know what happened. She just said, ‘Look, sorry, I can’t do it’. She told me face to face. She said, ‘Look, I’m gutted but it’s all over’.”

The pair’s other show, Dancing on Ice was shelved earlier this year with no plans for a new series, as revealed by The Sun.

It came as Coronation Street’s Sam Aston – aka Chesney Brown – won the latest outing.

An ITV Spokesperson said: “Following another successful series earlier this year, Dancing On Ice will be rested in 2026 with no current plans for another series.

“We would like to take this opportunity to thank all of the cast and crew who have worked on the show since 2006, and over the previous 17 series, for all of their hard work both on and off the ice.”

You Bet! airs on ITV1 and ITVX.
