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 this weekend (November 23) – 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.”

He concluded: “But remember, you know the rules of the game, just say what you see. Have a lovely weekend, and enjoy the show.”
