Stephen Mulhern<\/a> has wrapped up a lucrative \u00a31,000,000 deal.<\/p>\n

Since starting his career<\/a> at CITV hosting the children\u2019s TV show Finger Tips from 2001 from 2004, he\u2019s since gone on to present<\/a> Britain\u2019s Got More Talent, Catchphrase, In for a Penny, Deal or No Deal and Dancing on Ice<\/a>.<\/p>\n

However earlier this year the ice skating show, which first launched in 2006, was pulled by ITV<\/a>.<\/p>\n

A few months on Stephen, 48, has confirmed he\u2019s stepping away from another major project.<\/p>\n

Starting when he was a child, Stephen began public magic performances at 11-years-old, performing at Butlin’s Minehead during family holidays. He was also a Redcoat for two years.<\/p>\n

Over the past three years he\u2019s also returned to the seaside resort chain, performing at Minehead, Bognor Regis and Skegness.<\/p>\n

However, after he carries out a series of sell-out shows the summer, he won\u2019t be continuing his contract.<\/p>\n

A source previously explained: \u2018Stephen has been a massive hit with holidaymakers. He began his career as a Redcoat and has kept families brilliantly entertained.\u2019<\/p>\n

In a statement to Metro, his representatives added: \u2018Stephen has absolutely loved being part of the Butlins family \u2013 performing his stage shows in front of thousands of holiday makers across the country and the relationship with Butlins remains hugely positive.<\/p>\n

\u2018This change allows Stephen to explore new opportunities in the family holiday space \u2013 something he\u2019s incredibly passionate about.\u2019<\/p>\n

Stephen\u2019s final show \u2013 Out of this World \u2013 will celebrate his 25 year-career in showbiz with \u2018new illusions, new games, and new shenanigans\u2019.<\/p>\n

Speaking ahead of the shows, he spoke about his love for performing at the resort.<\/p>\n

\u2018The answer is simple. Butlin\u2019s gave me my very first break into the entertainment industry. I was a Redcoat in Minehead for two years and I\u2019ve never looked back,\u2019 he said.<\/p>\n

\u2018I owe a lot to Butlin\u2019s and that\u2019s why I love coming back and performing here.\u2019<\/p>\n

In the past year, Stephen has faced the axing of two of his programmes \u2013 Dancing on Ice and In for a Penny.<\/p>\n

However, he will soon be back with new seasons of Catchphrase, Deal or No Deal, You Bet and the travel show, The Accidental Tourist.<\/p>\n

That series will see him pushed out of his comfort zone, travelling Asia under the guidance of Ant and Dec.<\/p>\n

Speaking about the upcoming release to the Daily Mirror, Stephen explained how difficult the experience was at times.<\/p>\n

\u2018No one’s ever seen me cry on the telly, but it was quite nice to not be behind a format, I’ve never done that. You’re going to see behind the razzle-dazzle if you like’.<\/p>\n

‘They film and they film, and they film and they just get everything. I think what you’re going to see is a lot of emotion. You’ll see me totally out of my comfort zone.<\/p>\n

\u2018My dad had just passed away, so that’s the only thing. I’m gutted that he didn’t see it,\u2019 he added.<\/p>\n

After his father Christopher died in November, one of the presenters\u2019 spokespeople explained how Stephen had been facing \u2018an incredibly tough time over the past few weeks\u2019.<\/p>\n

Not long after he was rushed to hospital after collapsing in a Pizza Express, but fans were reassured he was \u2018recovering\u2019 soon after.<\/p>\n

Metro has contacted representatives for Stephen Mulhern for comment.<\/em><\/p>\n
