Stephen Mulhern says he “would be silly” to turn down the chance to co-host Dancing On Ice with Holly Willoughby. The skating show’s 15th series earlier this year was presented by Holly, alongside Phillip Schofield.
Both are off-screen at the moment, leading to speculation about next year’s series.
Stephen, 46, has fond memories of working with Holly, 42 – in Saturday Showdown in the mid-2000s, Dancing On Ice spin-off Defrosted in 2006, and standing in for Phillip on the show in 2022.

He said: “I absolutely loved it with Holly. We had a great time. And the response on social media was amazing. We are talking about Dancing On Ice. But I promise you now nothing has been agreed.
“I’ve not said yes, and I haven’t said no. Would I do it? I think it’d be silly not to do it. But nothing has been fully agreed. It would be great to work with Holly again.”

For his next trick, former magician Stephen is making a revamped Deal or No Deal appearing on ITV next week.
His dad was a huge fan of the Channel 4 version with Noel Edmonds. Stephen added: “We used to always play it at Christmas. My dad would get loads of these little gift boxes.
“One of the boxes would have a £50 note in. The others would have little chocolates and scratch cards and that sort of stuff.”
Busy Stephen also hosts Catchphrase and In For A Penny on ITV, as well as appearing on Ant and Dec’s Saturday Night Takeaway. He reckons the Geordie duo’s decision to end the after the 2024 series is a good one. Stephen said: “What they want to do is just take it away and just give it a refresh. Make it bigger and better. But I do think it’ll come back.”
- Deal or No Deal starts on Monday, November 20, at 4pm on ITV1, ITVX and STV.
