The first episode prompted a big reaction from TV fans, with many rejoicing at You Bet! returning and sharing their excitement online.

Under a post on X about You Bet!, dozens of fans shared the same comment about the programme, with many saying they couldn't "wait" to watch.

"You bet I’ll be watching x," one TV viewer commented, while a second said: "Cannot wait for this Stephen so excited to see the show and so excited to see you back on our screens."

A third fan said: "Can’t wait Stephen to finish work and watch the best show on the tv tonight," and a fourth person wrote: "I loved watching it in Bournemouth. I can’t wait to watch it tonight. Xxx," with another adding: "Can't wait to watch tonight!"

Throughout the new series, made up of six episodes, Stephen is joined by a string of famous faces, with the first episode starring Josie Gibson, Josh Widdecombe and Alesha Dixon.

Other stars due to appear include Rylan Clark, Alison Hammond, Danny Jones, Oti Mabuse, Greg Rutherford, Johnny Vegas and Rob Beckett.

Former host Holly will also make an appearance in the new series as a guest, after being forced to quit You Bet! due to her busy schedule, which left her unable to commit to the filming dates.

Stephen has shared his excitement for the latest series of You Bet!, saying: "It feels great to be back. It's not only a new series but we’re actually out and about and we're going to join the great British public.

"Touring the country, not only do you get to see more of Great Britain, we get out and meet more people that can do more extravagant stuff."

Revealing what fans can expect, he said: "Everything is bigger and better! We’ve got the outdoors - at one point we took over the entire Bournemouth Beach for one challenge. That would never fit in any studio, unless we were to hire Wembley."

You Bet! On Tour airs on Saturdays on ITV1 at 8pm
