I was in the room with Stephen Mulhern filming You Bet | UK News

Another model new sequence of You Bet! is soon coming to ITV with host Stephen Mulhern at the helm. The gameshow sees abnormal people with extraordinary abilities take on main challenges in entrance of an viewers in totally different areas around the nation as it goes on tour, but one fan has shared some behind-the-scenes secrets and techniques.

The sequence will consist of six full-length episodes and an further Christmas particular filmed in Cambridgeshire. Earlier this month, the 48-year-old TV presenter visited Liverpool’s waterfront at the Albert Dock for filming, where he was joined by visitors comic Johnny Vegas, Big Brother star Will Best, and Loose Women panellist Judi Love. Fans of the ITV show might apply for free tickets through Applause Store to go and see the show being recorded, with an added likelihood of assembly Stephen and his well-known pals. 

Express.co.uk caught up with somebody who managed to secure a spot in the viewers. They instructed us what Stephen was actually like and what actually goes on behind the scenes. “Stephen was lovely,” they shared.

“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.

“Will Best and Judi Love also did the similar, but poor Johnny was caught in a little rubber dinghy in the water!”

The fan went on to explain that St Helens star Johnny was roped into the show’s challenge, which saw him being winched in towards a large docked boat. The ship’s captain had to pull him in quicker than the competitor could climb around the boat. 

“There was one factor that did shock me,” the audience member admitted. “As somebody who is never on a TV set, I rapidly learnt that there are some components added in for dramatic impact. For instance, the presenters have been filmed giving a number of totally different reactions, as have been the viewers.

“We were asked to boo, to clap and to excitedly cheer but it was random and not while anything was actually happening. It seemed it was recorded so that editors could cut it and pop it in wherever they pleased. 

“Stephen and the visitors also cheered and shouted how close the problem was when nothing was even taking place. They have been screaming ‘come on you are able to do it,’ but no one was doing something! It left the viewers a bit perplexed but then I realised it was a little bit faux.

“They also redid some shots to get them reacting in different ways to whatever was happening. In a way it took the excitement out of it, but it was still a really good day and I can’t wait to see how things are changed once it’s actually on TV.”

Speaking about the sequence, host Stephen mentioned: “I’m completely thrilled that You Bet! is back – and this time we’re hitting the street! Each week I’ll be joined by a prime celeb panel, as our challengers take on some brilliantly bonkers and superb challenges. With the title of You Bet Champion on the line, it’s going to be unbelievable from the begin.”
