Saturday Night Takeaway star Stephen Mulhern’s real age as he celebrates birthday in Florida – and fans are shocked
SATURDAY Night Takeaway star Stephen Mulhern has been celebrating his birthday with pals Ant and Dec in Florida.
The presenter and magician told fans he was living it up stateside as he turned 46 years old.
He wrote on Twitter last night: “Thanks so much for your birthday messages everyone!
“I’m running around a theme park and wearing my gold jacket to celebrate! Sending lots of love x”
Dozens of his followers wished him a happy birthday, with Davina McCall writing: “Happy birthday sweet cheeks!”
Another teased the youthful star: “I love this. Happy Birthday. Your 21 again! I hope you are having the best day EVER. Enjoy Florida. Xxxx”
The TV star is stateside at Universal Studios in Orlando filming Saturday Night Takeaway‘s epic finale.
And another huge TV project was recently confirmed for the In For A Penny host.
ITV has revived Deal or No Deal after nearly a decade off air – and Stephen has replaced Noel Edmonds as its presenter.
Speaking about taking over the reins of the show, Stephen said last week: “Wow what an opportunity, I’m beyond excited to be hosting the brand-new series.
“I’ve always been such a huge fan of the show, so much so, I’ve been practising at home with small cereal boxes! It looks so simple but it’s an incredibly compelling game for both those playing and the viewers watching at home.
“It’s one of the greatest shows of all time and to be the new host is an honour! I can’t wait to get started.”
ITV has not said when the new series will air but applications for contestants to take part are now open.
Deal Or No Deal ended in August 2016 following 13 series – and even had a farewell tour around the country so fans could watch it for one last time.
Talking about the tour at the time, Noel said: “We can go anywhere and this is something I’ve wanted to do for years. Twenty-two boxes, a phone and me. Where will we pop up next?”
The tour ended after one year and after 3,000 episodes the show finished for good.
The year before it finished, it was worked out Deal Or No Deal had given away over £40million in prize money.
Viewers spent years trying to work out the identity of the mystery banker and it was later telly star Stephen who revealed it as Coronation Street actor Glenn Hugill.
The show is one of the UK’s most popular ever game shows and even got a celebrity spin off which ran across five series.
