Stephen Mulhern’s near-death experience after friend saved his life during trip to New York

Scary!

Stephen Mulhern once recalled a rather eventful trip to New York with a pal, revealing he was “nearly killed” while he was over there.

The presenter – who is hosting Celebrity Catchphrase today (September 14) – shot to fame in the 1990s and since then he’s not stopped.

From hosting Catchphrase to becoming the new presenter on Dancing On Ice, Stephen has become a firm favourite with viewers over the years.

And it seems Stephen is no stranger to treating himself to a holiday – but one trip away saw things take a dramatic turn when he almost perished…

Stephen Mulhern nearly perished in New York

In an interview from June this year, Stephen spoke about his all-time favourite holidays that he has been on.

From a “debauched” lads’ holiday to Ayia Napa to a sun-soaked trip in Barbados, it seems Stephen is no stranger to jetting off abroad.

But it turns out a getaway to New York was a rather eventful trip for Stephen.

Stephen was ‘nearly killed’

“About four years ago I was nearly killed in New York,” Stephen shared to The Times. Luckily, Stephen’s pal stepped in and saved him.

He explained: “I went to walk across the road in Times Square but forgot that the traffic there goes in the opposite direction. I felt a bus go past my nose, it was that close — a friend of mine pulled me back just in time.”
