Catchphrase and In for A Penny Host Stephen Mulhern is usually very private about his romantic – despite dating EastEnders star Emma Barton and a rumoured fling with This Morning’s Josie Gibson

Stephen Mulhern has shocked fans with an honest two word comment about his sex life.

The Deal or No Deal presenter, who usually keeps his personal life private, has made an unexpected U-turn and has commented on his bedroom antics. It’s thought that he is currently single but this hasn’t been confirmed.

He was previously in a relationship with EastEnders star Emma Barton, who is known as Honey Mitchell from the soap, with previous reports suggesting their romance lasted from 2008 till 2011. However, they then went their separate ways but it’s not known who he has been in a relationship with since.

Speaking to The Sun about how much sex he has, Stephen simply replied with just two words: “Not enough!” Most recently, Stephen has been linked to This Morning presenter Josie Gibson after they were seen hand-in-hand, sparking speculation of a romance.

However, the pair went on to deny that there was anything romantic between them. During a section on This Morning, he was asked by hosts Ben Shephard and Cat Deely about the relationship but he replied: “Listen, she didn’t turn up to rehearsals, I held her hand and I showed her where to stand. That is it. Finito.”

Meanwhile, Josie jokingly told MailOnline: “I’m in love with Stephen Mulhern. There you go. But story of my life, I don’t think he loves me.” But she later set the record straight to put the rumours that the presenters were secretly dating to bed. Speaking to OK! Magazine, Josie insisted that she and Stephen were simply ‘best friends’.

The This Morning star said: “Stephen? Oh, he’s so lovely. We are really good friends, I really adore him, but there’s no romance in the air. But he’s so nice. Josie added: “Every bloke that I come in contact with, the press seems to think that I’m having it off with them.

“People must think I’m a right-goer. I’m not like that. To be with somebody or to even kiss somebody, I’ve really got to love them. I’ve really got to really be into them. I can’t give my energy over when I’m not completely into it. You know when you get that magic connection? For me it only comes around like once every seven years or eight years. I love the love because those are very, very special [moments] when you find them.”

Despite keeping his own love life private, it was recently revealed that Stephen played a big part in Matt and Emma Willis’ wedding day. The pair chose to renew their vows after ten years of marriage and Stephen as in charge. Matt told OK! last year: “Stephen Mulhern married us, you could probably sense the tone of the wedding.”
