Holly Willoughby and Alison Hammond were overcome with emotion in the first episode of the ITV gameshow You Bet! on Saturday night.

The gameshow sees ordinary people bet they can do extraordinary thing and both stars struggled to hold back their tears after Will took to the stage with a breath taking stunt.

Arriving on the show, Will bet he could use his digger to set off three fireworks whilst doing a wheelie as he confessed being on the show felt like being ‘on the set of a major movie in Hollywood.’

And after performing the incredible stunt, he was left in tears as he sobbed: ‘It’s just all the people here’.

Overcome with the roar of applause from the audience, Will’s emotion triggered Holly as she filled up while Alison was seen wiping her eyes.

Holly gushed: ‘Someone who has dedicated their life to these big machines and you’ve absolutely smashed it in front of everybody.’

Elsewhere in the episode Alison was left red-faced after Holly made a very cheeky comment to her co-star. 

Holly, 43, has made her TV comeback with the entertainment show alongside Stephen Mulhern after leaving her role at This Morning in October 2023.

And as the first episode aired Holly pushed the boundaries as she asked her former This Morning colleague Alison about her licking habits.

As one couple bet they could identify different types of cactuses – whilst blindfolded – by licking them.

Turning to Alison Holly joked: ‘What’s the strangest thing you’ve ever licked Alison?’

As the audience and celebrity panel exploded into giggles, Alison teased: ‘You know there’s been a few things.’
