Dancing On Ice host Stephen Mulhern makes his debut

Stephen slipped into a blue velvet jacket and even survived a punch from Ricky Hatton during his Dancing On Ice debut.

Viewers declared that Stephen was a “breathe of fresh air” on the show as he replaced Phillip Schofield.

One person said: “We like Stephen Mulhern. Nice to have someone on the show that brings a smile to our face.”

But eagle-eyed viewers spotted something different about Stephen… he seemed to be morphing into an elf!

‘Since when was Stephen Mulhern an elf?’

One commented: “Since when was Stephen Mulhern an elf? Ears like that he’ll be looking for the ring of power with Frodo and Gollum.”

Another added: “Am I the only one who can’t stop staring at Stephen’s elf ear sticking out?” A third said: “I have to ask… what is going on with poor Stephen’s elf ear?!” Another then commented: “Can’t deal with Stephen Mulhern’s ear sticking out – is it always like that?! Never noticed it before.”

However, fret not, Stephen fans. Other viewers figured out that the problem was actually thanks to a too-tight earpiece!

“Why does Stephen Mulhern look like an elf? Oh, his ear piece is a bit tight,” chuckled one viewer.
