Stephen Mulhern has arguably stepped into his glitziest role yet, hosting Dancing On Ice alongside long-time pal Holly Willoughby.
It’s a full-circle moment for Stephen, 46, and Holly, who turns 43 this week, as they both rose to prominence in the early noughties with children’s show Saturday Showdown.
As he chats exclusively to new at The Toy Fair in London, Stephen, who also fronts the quiz Deal Or No Deal, appears to have settled into the prime-time programme well.
“I love it, especially as it’s so new and exciting for me,” the popular presenter tells us, saying it was “meant to be”.
Here, Stephen shares his thoughts on the celebrity competition, opens up on his friendship with Holly and tells us why he’s hoping for some tumbles on the ice.
Hi, Stephen! How is Dancing On Ice going so far?
It’s going really well. I love it because it’s live and anything can happen, there is no delay on the show. Whereas, if something goes wrong on Deal Or No Deal, for example, there are things we can do, but that’s not the case with Dancing On Ice. Although, that does make it more nervewracking, which is why it’s great to not only do it with a co-host but to do it with a friend. If something goes wrong from my side, I know Holly will help me out and vice versa.
