Stephen Mulhern on his ‘sad’ love life

In fact, the presenter previously explained that he hasn’t been on a date in four years!

In an interview with Celebs Now, he confirmed: “Last time I went on a date was about four years ago.

“That makes me sound really sad! I need a life.”

I need to stop working so much

The 46-year-old star then went on to reveal the real reason behind his non-existent dating life.

“I need to stop working so much,” Stephen added.

Whilst the Catchphrase host appears to be single at the moment, he did previously date EastEnders star Emma Barton.

The couple met in 2008 when they were both cast in the Snow White pantomime at the Marlow Theatre in Canterbury.

However, their relationship wasn’t meant to be and they split in 2011.

According to Stephen, the relationship came to a “natural end”.
