| Updated:

Stephen Mulhern – whose show, In For A Penny, airs today (Sunday, May 26) – remains fairly private when it comes to his personal life.

The presenter is known for his appearances on a string of ITV programmes, including Catchphrase, In For A Penny and Ant and Dec’s Saturday Night Takeaway.

But, despite being a hit with fans, Stephen admitted that he finds it difficult when it comes to dating.

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”.
