Celebrity Catchphrase host Stephen Mulhern, 48, previously revealed he harbours a secret sadness about the entertainment industry.
Stephen, who helms Deal or No Deal and the In For A Penny Christmas special this weekend (December 6), started out as a Redcoat and magician at Butlin’s’ Minehead resort. Since then he’s gone from strength to strength, remaining booked and busy.
However, he previously addressed the lack of old-school entertainers currently in the business, admitting that things just “aren’t the same” any more.
Lack of ‘real entertainers’
Speaking back in June 2024, he told The Times: “Most of our family holidays when I was growing up were at nearby seaside resorts such as Margate and Southend. Our first big trip was to Butlin’s in Minehead, Somerset, when I was 11.
