Stephen Mulhern has spoken candidly about his childhood, as he opened up about a "terrible" trick a bully once played on him during his school years.
The ITV presenter, 45, has recently embarked on a new venture and penned his first ever children's book, Max Magic, which was inspired by his own childhood experiences. The book focuses on a boy called Max who learns magic tricks to help him at school.
Stephen said discovering magic at a young age helped him to deal with bullies, as he encouraged kids to learn something new to help them in "tough situations".
