Challenges included one couple identifying different types of cactus just by licking them.

Another challenge was identifying different board games by the sounds they make when they are emptied from their boxes.

However, some viewers were annoyed that ITV did not bring back all the original features of the 80’s TV format.

A number of viewers took to X – formerly known as Twitter – as they noticed that no on-screen countdown was included in the tied challenges.

One viewer asked: “Where’s the onscreen clock for the challenges?”

A second exclaimed: “I miss the clock on screen with these challenges. This is not like the original, can we bring it back?”

While a third posted: “Watching YouBet! Where is the on-screen clock during the challenges? As a reboot goes this is NOT it.”

But that was not the only factor that ITV1 viewers complained about.

Previously the likes of Bruce Forsyth, Matthew Kelly and Darren Day previously fronted the show on their own.

However, the new Saturday night show featured both Holly Willoughby and Stephen Mulhern appear together on-screen.

Many fans of the original format also noticed that the commercial network used different music in the challenges as the theme tune was also changed.

Taking to the social media platform, another viewer stated: “The tunes changed, it should have 1 presenter.. bizarre.”

A fifth raged: “If it isn’t bad enough then two are presenting, the challenges NEED the old/tense music. One of my fave shows ruined #YouBet”
