Holly Willoughby left Alison Hammond rather red-faced after she made a very cheeky comment during the first episode of You Bet on Saturday night.

The presenter, 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.

The gameshow sees ordinary people bet they can do extraordinary things, and 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.’

Holly looked sensational as she showed off her incredible figure for her glamorous television comeback on Saturday night.

Opting for a stylish little black mini dress, the star put on a leggy display in the dress and completed the look with simple black strappy heels.

Featuring a star-studded celebrity panel including comedian Rob Beckett, Alison Hammond and Olly Murs, for each challenge the celebrities and studio audience must bet if the challengers can do it – YES or NO?

And the stakes couldn’t be higher because the audience’s favourite challenger of the night will win a massive £10,000…whilst the losing celebrity must take part in the dreaded forfeit finale.

The jam-packed trailer for the show released last month was filled with climbing, cycling, fire, diggers, licking cactus’s and even a goat.

And on Saturday Will won the competition after he 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.’

Left in tears after winning the £10,000 prize money, he promised he will be taking his wife in a wonderful holiday.

And it was Alison who was the losing celebrity of the night as she was forced to perform completely unrehearsed with the cast of the Tina Turner stage musical.

Yet Alison took to the stage like a duck to water as she strutted herself in a glamorous gold sparkly dress while belting Rolling On A River

Speaking previously about being a part of the show, Holly gushed: ‘I remember watching You Bet! as a kid, and I loved it. For me, it felt like true Saturday night telly.

‘I remember being glued to the TV whilst watching a digger pick up 6 delicate eggs in its giant jaws and placing them on egg cups, all in a minute.

‘I remember looking at my Dad who was equally as enthralled as I was. I think the show works for all ages and is real family viewing.’

Asked what her most memorable moment of filming was, she referenced the iconic cactus licking moment.

She joked: ‘The one that stands out to me the most was a lovely couple whose unique challenge was that they could identify different types of cactuses – whilst blindfolded – by licking them!’
