Stephen Mulhern is a regular face on the telly when it comes to Saturday night entertainment. But this weekend, it's actually Sunday night when the presenter is taking over as the new co-host of Dancing on Ice.
It was announced last month that Stephen would join Holly Willoughby as a presenter on the ITV skating competition following Phillip Schofield's exit. The former This Morning star initially planned to continue working with ITV, however, he resigned altogether after admitting to an "unwise but not illegal" affair with a younger employee.
Stephen will now join Holly, who also quit This Morning herself back in October, rinkside when the programme returns on Sunday (January 12) for the 2024 series with twelve new famous faces taking to the ice.

But from hosting Catchphrase and In For A Penny to being a regular on Ant and Dec's Saturday Night Takeaway and becoming the new host of both Dancing on Ice and Deal Or No Deal, it seems there is no time you haven't seen Stephen on screen.
But presenting isn't actually where Stephen started out and some may be used to seeing him at a very well-known holiday park. The London-born star was just 11 years old when he started learning magic tricks from his father and performing for the public while on holiday at Butlin's.
He became the youngest member of The Magic Circle after they broke with tradition and allowed a 17-year-old Stephen into their society. But he later risked his membership when he revealed the secrets behind a magic trick on the TV show, Finger Tips, which he was hosting with Fearne Cotton.
He therefore broke one of The Magic Circle's major rules - don't tell anyone how you did
