ITV forced to halt filming of Stephen Mulhern show after fire on set
Filming of Stephen Mulhern's game show You Bet! was brought to a halt due to a fire on set. The Saturday Night Takeaway and Dancing On Ice host, 48, was working on the ITV show in Yorkshire at the time, shooting a special Emmerdale segment. It's been reported that a car burst into flames, with the fire spreading to prop vans used by crew members. As a result, thousands of pounds worth of equipment went up in smoke. According to MailOnline, two fire engines were called to the scene. An eyewitness described what unfolded as 'carnage'. 'The blaze just started from a random vehicle, which then resulted in vans used by the crew also going up in flames,' they explained. 'There was obvious panic, and it's a miracle nobody was harmed.' It's said the fire started 'within close proximity to the soap,' but thankfully, it didn't spread inside where filming actually happens. Speaking after the incident, a spokesperson for You Bet! also said: 'Following an incident that was unrelated to filming, production for You Bet! was suspended as a precaution. 'The situation was promptly assessed by the fire services, and no one was injured or affected. 'The health and safety of all individuals involved in the making of the programme remains our highest priority.' Also confirming their attendance to the matter, a spokesperson for West Yorkshire Fire Service explained that they were called to 'reports of a small vehicle on fire on Harewood Avenue' at 3:57pm on Friday. On the arrival of their two crews, the fires were extinguished. The cause has been recorded as accidental. Photos from the scene illustrate the extent of the damage, showing how the blaze completely destroyed what was inside the trucks. The set was located on the grounds of Harewood House in Leeds, with Mulhern there to record a challenge to appear in the upcoming series. Filming of the programme – which is a revival of the original format, which first aired in 1988 – will continue this week. In August 2024, ITV announced that Mulhern and Holly Willoughby would front two special episodes of You Bet!, in which a celebrity panel bets on the ability of members of the public to accomplish typically unlikely challenges and stunts. It was later revealed that Catchphrase host Mulhern would host the next full series solo, with Willoughby having quit in March. The reboot will comprise seven episodes and a Christmas special, but, in a twist to the format, each will be filmed in different locations across the country. An ITV spokesman said previously about the switch-up: 'Free from the restrictions of the studio, our epic challenges are about to get a whole lot bigger. 'Watching on, our celebrity panel's job is simple; they must decide if each challenger will succeed – yes or no. If they guess correctly, they'll be awarded points. 'The Celebrity with the most points at the end of the show will receive £5,000 for their chosen charity.' You Bet! will be aptly renamed You Bet! On Tour for the upcoming series, and bosses are hoping Willoughby will be up for returning at some point as a guest panellist. Other famous panel members will include Zoe Ball, Rob Beckett, Alex Brooker, Rylan Clark, Alesha Dixon, Alison Hammond, and Danny Jones. More Trending Speaking ahead of its release, Mulhern – who recently left his lucrative role at Butlin's – expressed his excitement: 'I'm absolutely thrilled that YouBet! is back – and this time we're hitting the road! 'Each week, I'll be joined by a top celeb panel as our challengers take on some brilliantly bonkers and amazing challenges. 'With the title of You Bet Champion on the line, it's going to be unbelievable from the start.' View More » You Bet! was originally hosted by Sir Bruce Forsyth from 1988 to 90, before Matthew Kelly took over from 1991 to 1995. Darren Day then hosted from 1996 to 1997. Got a story?

Gogglebox's Scarlett Moffatt opens up on day that 'changed her life' leading to TV career
The Gogglebox star shared the day that changed the course of her life Scarlett Moffatt has shared one day that changed the course of her life, leading her into the a career in television. The well-known star initially won hearts on the popular television programme Gogglebox and after leaving in 2016, she sought new ventures. As a winner of I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here and a frequent face on Ant and Dec's Saturday Night Takeaway, Moffatt recently revealed to her admirers the transformative experience that "changed her life". She shared a TikTok video about one important moment as she wrote: "The day that changed my life!!". In the narration, she recounts: "Story time of how one kind act when I was 16 ended up with me getting a career in tv. Strap yourself in it's a long one." Engaging with her 821k TikTok followers, the star divulged that at 16, she had aspirations to be a dance or primary school teacher; however, her academic path was at risk by poor attendance, reports the Manchester Evening News. Moffatt added: "I was distraught. I came in this day thinking it was possibly my last ever day at this college with my friends and we decided to do what we always did and go for a jacket potato. Now normally my friend would always have her car, and for this day, this is where it starts getting crazy, she didn't bring her car in because there was something wrong with it." Moffatt said she soon met an elderly woman who seemed "a little bit lost" in the park, she had no clue that lending a hand would lead to a remarkable twist. Without recognition of who the woman was or her whereabouts, Moffatt eventually rang a number on the woman's phone belonging to someone at the college. The good turn saw Moffatt reunite the lady with her daughter as she recalled: "Then I went into the college and who was principle I had my meeting with but the very same daughter of that woman that I'd helped. She literally ripped up the agreement of the fact that I had to agree I hadn't played my role in the college because I hadn't been going to social studies." Although Moffatt feared she might lose her place in college, the random act of kindness paid off as she was permitted to continue. But she said: "This is when gets even crazier." She went on to say: "I then explained look the bus sometimes is so full that I end up missing it, it takes one hour and 15 to get home, I have to wait around is there anyway I can swap social studies class." Post class change, she met a friend who turned out to work in TV, reconnecting after college. This connection later unfolded into an opportunity as he was looking for people to be on a new show, Gogglebox. However, after a lack of interest, Moffatt agreed to be part of the show and her career subsequently took off. She confided in her fans: "Honestly if we hadn't have done Gogglebox, I definitely wouldn't be in the career I'm in now. I wouldn't have ended up doing I' a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here or Saturday Night Takeaway and all the wonderful things I've got to do which I still feel like how did I manage this, winging life." She later added: "I just think in world where you can do anything, be kind because you really don't know where it can lead you. "And the support came pouring in. One fan replied: "Good things happen to good people Scarlett kind heart repaid." Another wrote: "Amazing what's meant for you never passes you lovely story." A third replied: "That's an amazing story and just proves that a little kindness can go a long way. Miss you on Gogglebox btw." A fourth commented: "What a lovely heartwarming story Scarlett, thanks for sharing it with us." One person added: "Amazing, remarkable story Scarlett, you were destined for success, with your kind caring nature."
