The Dancing on Ice presenter, who is believed to be single, is known to be very private about his romantic life but he has let one comment slip about how often he is having sex.

Stephen Mulhern is known to be very private about his love life but he has let a few comments slip here and there in the past.

The Dancing on Ice presenter, who celebrated his 47th birthday on April 3, is best known for fronting ITV shows including Catchphrase, Deal or No Deal, In For A Penny and of course the iconic figure skating competition with co-host Holly Willoughby.

He launched his TV career over 20 years ago at CITV presenting shows like Finger Tips and Tricky TV, as well as Holly and Stephen’s Saturday Showdown.

While not much is known about his dating history, the presenter once gave a rare insight into his sex life during an interview in 2020., the Mirror reports.

When asked by the Sun how often he has sex, Stephen responded at the time by telling the outlet: “Not enough!”

In the same interview Stephen was also questioned on who the love of his life was and instead of mentioning any romantic partners, he sweetly named his sister Suzie.

He replied: “My sister Suzie. Is that a bit weird?”

The 47-year-old teased back in 2018 that his demanding work schedule impacts his dating life.

It’s been widely reported that Stephen once dated Emma Barton, now 46, who is best known for playing Honey Mitchell on the BBC soap opera EastEnders.

The pair are said to have dated from around 2008 to 2011 and are believed to have met during a pantomime production of Snow White where Emma was cast as the leading role while Stephen played her pal, Muddles.

The former colleagues are understood to have kept their romance away from the public eye before their apparent split in 2011.

At the time, Stephen is reported to have stated that the relationship had come to a “natural end” between him and Emma.

The ITV host also once kissed his close pal and colleague Holly when they hosted Saturday Showdown on CITV, with a clip from the Christmas episode in question having resurfaced online.

The footage saw Stephen give Holly an elf hat with mistletoe as she responded: “Hurray for me! I can kiss all of the boys in the world all of the time.”

She went on to sing: “Tis the season to kiss Holly, fa la la la la la la la la!”

Stephen subsequently kissed his co-host, with her then objecting to it.

In the clip, she says: “No! Stephen, you don’t count,” to which Stephen asks: “What do you mean, I don’t count? […] Whoever you are under the mistletoe with […] you must kiss”.

He then went on to kiss her again, with Holly later commenting: “Don’t wear my lips out. I’m gonna be kissing Anthony from Blue a little bit later.”

It’s been reported that Stephen kissed Holly three more times on the show before she eventually took the hat off and told her colleague: “Right, that does it! I am taking this off – and you are definitely on the naughty list.”
