ITV teases bigger Saturday Night Takeaway role for Stephen Mulhern

Viewers rejoiced as Stephen Mulhern made a return to Saturday Night Takeaway last week.

The star took a four-week long break from the show on “doctors’ orders” due to a mystery illness.

However, he’s made a swift recovery and has returned the ITV show.

Stephen announced the news on Twitter, saying: “Hello all, sorry I’ve been quiet on here recently and thank you for all your lovely messages. I’ve had some time off and been resting up on doctors’ orders.

“I’m on the mend, I’m happy to say, and looking forward to getting back to work soon.”

We’re all excited to see him back on our screens again tomorrow and this time with a possibly bigger role.

What exactly has ITV said?

In its SNT announcement today (April 1), ITV teased that Stephen Mulhern could be getting a bigger part to play in this week’s episode.

The statement revealed that Stephen has been “up to mischief this week”.

Which, to us, indicates that he’ll be doing more than just hosting the live Ant vs Dec challenge…

So does this mean we’ll finally see more of our favourite TV star in tomorrow’s episode?

We sure hope so!
