Jason Manford wants to host a revival of 'You Bet!' The 40-year-old comedian - who was recently a judge on ITV's 'Star In Their Eyes' reboot 'Starstruck' - is turning his attention to the cult 1990s game show and admitted he wants to put the focus on "real people" rather the celebrities.

He told The Sun newspaper's TV Biz column: "I'd love to bring back 'You Bet!' because I like shows with real people in them. "Celebrities have had it good for too long.

They've already got a good life and they get nice things, so I think let's see real people on the telly who have a real skill or who can do something funny. " The original show - which was first hosted by Sir Bruce Forsyth and ran from 1988 to 1997 with Matthew Kelly and Darren Day both appearing as presenters - saw members of the public showing off their unique skills through special challenges.

The studio audience and celebrity panel had to place a bet on whether or not they'd succeed. Jason added: "It's a great way of celebrating nerds and just having a bit of fun with it. " Meanwhile, the stand-up star also revealed he's signed up for a second series of 'Starstruck', and he's hoping co-stars Adam Lambert, Sheridan Smith, Beverley Knight and Olly Murs won't be far behind.
