We are back with another one, and it's a pretty special one too - it's Matthew Kelly's first ever episode! Join us as we take the You Bet! time machine back to 16 February 1991, as Matthew Kelly is joined by 'Allo Allo star Vicki Michelle, Olympic gold medallist Nick Skelton, and Barnsley's favourite actor, Brian Glover.

The challenges are as bonkers as ever, including two firemen trying to blow up and pop a balloon through 300 metres of fire hose, a child off his shark knowledge and a guy on a motorbike trying to knock off coconuts on traffic cones!

The challenges are as mad as ever, including two German men who say they can identify five different cars just by listening to the sound of the doors being shut! It's classic You Bet!

Welcome to a very special episode of You Bet Pod. This episode features an interview with the one and only, former You Bet! co-host for five season, Ellis Ward! We were honoured to speak to Ellis about her time in You Bet!, and other areas of her career as well. Ellis talks about being a dancer at the Moulin Rouge at 16 years of age, spending six months living in Japan, and much more.

She then talks about her time on You Bet!, what it was like to work with Sir Bruce Forsyth and Sir Matthew Kelly (it's just a matter of time!), and all the challenges, celebrities and forfeits that were a part of the show.

Thanks to Ellis for allowing us her time to take a trip down memory lane....
