Stephen Mulhern: What all shows has he presented? A look into his career so far
Stephen began his career in 1998 on CITV with children's TV show Finger Tips with Fearne Cotton. He went on to enjoy a solo presenting stint with children's show Tricky TV from 2005 to 2010 and co-hosted Holly & Stephen's Saturday Showdown (originally called Ministry of Mayhem) with Holly Willoughby, confirmed MailOnline.
His leap into TV for adults began in 2006 when he presented the ITV2 spin-off Dancing on Ice: Defrosted for the first time. Stephen also co-hosted Inside The Hub a small segment on This Morning with Phil and Holly. While ITV may not have chosen him for presenting a main show in the early 2000s, he was a popular choice for spin-offs. He ended up hosting another spin-off - Britain's Got More Talent - as Ant and Dec hosted the main show.
His first primetime hosting gig came in 2010 when he fronted Magic Numbers on ITV. Three years later, he landed the revived version of the ITV game show Catchphrase. Other shows include: ITV's Big Star's Little Star, Sunday Side Up, Get Your Act Together and ITV2 panel show Reality Bites.
Stephen has also hosted many jobs alongside Ant and Dec with one being particularly famous - his role as the presenter of the Ant vs Dec segment on Ant & Dec's SaturdayNightTakeaway. Apart from TV work, the 46-year-old has hosted Sunday Mornings on Heart Radio with Emma Willis, who has also landed a gig as host for Love Is Blind UK, for six years until 2018 and is a regular stand-in on Virgin Radio UK. Interestingly enough, Stephen’s first career choice was being a magician.
He started learning tricks from his father at the age of 11 and eventually hosted many magic shows on TV, including Quick Trick Show and Tricky TV. Stephen also stood in for Ant and Dec for Britain's Got Talent: The Ultimate Magician when the presenting duo caught Covid days before filming.
