Fans of ITV's hit Saturday night show Ant and Dec's Saturday Night Takeaway will be pleased to know the comedic duo's fellow presenter, Stephen Mulhern, will be back on the little screen this evening. The popular London-born presenter, comedian and magician, 44, had missed the last few episodes of the series due to illness, with doctors having advised him to rest and recuperate at home.
In a post on Twitter on March 12, Stephen said: "Hello all, sorry I’ve been quiet on here [social media] recently and thank you for all your lovely messages. I’ve had some time off and been resting up on doctors orders. I’m on the mend, I’m happy to say, and looking forward to getting back to work soon. In the meantime, I’ll put my feet up and watch Saturday Night Takeaway tonight with the rest of you lot. Please don’t miss me too much! Lots of love, Stephen. X"
Tonight, Stephen is back on our screens - as confirmed by Ant and Dec on their Twitter page today (Saturday, March 26). Shortly after 2pm, the pair shared a short video clip of them running around the television studios where the series is filmed, telling crew "Saturday Night Take Away is back tonight." At three different points of the clip, the pair can be seen in their dressing room backstage with Stephen - subtly telling us that he is on-set ready to return for tonight's episode.
