Stephen Mulhern became a fan favourite after decades of appearing on television as a presenter.

The star made a name for himself with his hosting roles on Ant and Dec's Saturday Night Takeaway, Catchphrase and Britain's Got More Talent.
And now, it has been confirmed that he will be fronting the ITV revival of Deal Or No Deal.
