Dancing On Ice: Stephen Mulhern fills in for Phillip Schofield
Stephen Mulhern has spoken out about replacing Phillip Schofield as the host of Dancing On Ice for the upcoming series.
The 46-year-old is the favourite to replace Phillip, 61, after the latter cut ties with ITV following an affair with a much younger male colleague at This Morning.
As well as hosting This Morning, dad-of-two Phillip presented Dancing On Ice alongside Holly Willoughby.
However, Holly ended up quitting This Morning in October, less than five months after Phillip’s shock exit.
Dancing On Ice fans have been speculating about who will replace Phillip on the ITV show which is due to return in the New Year.

“You know what, we are talking about Dancing On Ice, 100 per cent, but nothing’s been confirmed,” Stephen told The Sun.
“I’d be crazy not to do it. It’s that thing, isn’t it… I still know some of the team obviously, and Holly is a dream partner to work with.”
The Ant and Dec Saturday Night Takeaway star added: “I think there’s a right time and a right place.”

Stephen stood in for Phillip on Dancing On Ice when he had coronavirus and told the publication it was “an amazing night”.
Holly’s hosted Dancing On Ice since 2006 but she’s not confirmed if she will be returning for the 2024 series.
Stephen recently landed a presenting role in the Deal or No Deal reboot which hits screens next Monday.
Dancing On Ice will be back on screens in January and the famous faces braving the rink have already been announced.
They include Emmerdale star Roxy Shahidi, Ricky Hatton, Claire Sweeney, Amber Davies, Greg Rutherford, Miles Nazaire, Lou Sanders, Ricky Norwood, Hannah Spearitt, Adele Roberts, Ryan Thomas and Eddie ‘The Eagle’ Edwards.
Gogglebox star Stephen Lustig-Webb was also meant to take part in the series, but he had to drop out following an injury.
Last month he was rushed to the hospital after breaking his ankle and doctors told him he’d be on crutches for the next three months, at least.
Dancing On Ice will air on ITV and ITVX from January 2024 on a date yet to be announced.
