Stephen Mulhern received a hero's welcome as he finally returned to Saturday Night Takeaway after a long break due to illness.
The Catchphrase and In For A Penny host has been a big hit with ITV viewers for years now, so there was concern for him as he was suddenly missing from the show after a brief appearance at the start of its new series. Stephen finally addressed his absence earlier this month, when he took to Twitter to post: "Hello all, Sorry I’ve been quiet on here 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.
