The duo hosted two special episodes in a studio, before it was revealed in March this year that Holly had quit ahead of a full series commission.
It means Stephen, 48, will present the new series – which starts on Saturday – alone, but Holly does return as a celebrity guest for one episode.
Holly leaving isn’t the only change to the series, as the new episodes have swapped the studio setting for an ‘on tour’ format where it travels to different parts of the UK each week to meet people keen to undertake weird and wacky challenges.
In a trailer for the full series – which airs at the start of Saturday’s first episode – Holly is seen for the first time on the revamped show.
The star looked as stylish as ever in a striped top and blazer, with her blonde hair tied back in a low ponytail.
After travelling with Stephen, Rylan Clark and Babatunde Aleshe to their location, Holly is seen screaming her head off on a rollercoaster, before watching the dramatic challenges unfold.
At the time Holly’s departure was announced, an ITV spokesman told TV Zone: “Unfortunately Holly couldn’t commit to the dates to host the new series of You Bet!, but will hopefully appear as a guest panellist on one of the shows in the new series.”
Other celebrity guests on the show include Big Brother hosts AJ Odudu and Will Best as will soap star brothers – Ryan and Adam Thomas.
Saturday’s episode sees Alesha Dixon sit alongside comedian Josh Widdicombe and This Morning‘s Josie Gibson.
Meanwhile Zoe Ball, Alex Brooker, Danny Jones, Judi Love, Johnny Vegas and Oti Mabuse will also be taking part alongside other well-known faces.
The series will comprise of six full-length episodes as well as an additional Christmas special which was filmed in Cambridgeshire.
Speaking about the series, host Stephen said: “I’m absolutely thrilled that You Bet! 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.”
