Stephen Mulhern addressed his illness and absence from our TV screens as he returned to Saturday Night Takeaway. He told the audience: "Seriously, I haven't been too well" as he took to the stage with Ant and Dec for the first time since the ITV programme's first episode.
Fans of ITV's hit Saturday night show with Ant and Dec were delighted to see the comedic duo's fellow presenter back on the 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"
