A fire on set forced ITV to suspend production on popular game show You Bet! last week while presenter Stephen Mulhern was filming a segment on the grounds of Harewood House.
That’s where shooting for Emmerdale takes place. Following a small vehicle fire, a van also burst into flames. However, a swift response from fire crews meant that no one came to any harm.
The former Redcoat recently shared his confusion over Holly Willoughby’s exit from the show, saying, “I don’t know what happened”. He has also talked about his “rivalry” with Ben Shephard.
But his own future is rocksteady. While there may be “a thousand people” ready to take his place, there’s lots on his plate, and his glass is half full.

Stephen Mulhern’s Emmerdale segment for You Bet! interrupted by car blaze
ITV was forced to suspend filming of new material for game show You Bet! last week after a fire caused havoc on set.
Stephen Mulhern – on screen with In For A Penny this weekend (July 5) – had paid a visit to the Emmerdale set, on the grounds of Harewood House in West Yorkshire, to shoot a challenge there.
An eyewitness reportedly told the Daily Mail that the fire started in a third party vehicle, and also affected vans used by the crew.
Thankfully, they added, the “carnage” didn’t spread to where actual filming takes place. “It’s a miracle no one was harmed,” they said. Nevertheless, it certainly resulted in a good deal of panic among those present.
