Stephen Mulhern unveiled a very new bald look as Saturday Night Takeaway returned to ITV for a twentieth series on Saturday night (February 24).
The telly fave was on hand for the first Ant vs Dec challenge of the 2024 run. But far from the usual Stephen the fans know and love, Dr Stevil popped up on screen instead!
Stephen later revealed on social media he spent an hour and half in the make up chair “to look this good”.
And while viewers were taken aback by Stephen’s transformation, others admitted they found him “sexy” following his startling makeover.

But many of those watching at home couldn’t get enough of the makeover.
“Dr Ste-vil will forever be haunting my dreams,” chuckled one fan on Twitter.
“Loving it! Hope you keep it for tomorrow night’s Dancing On Ice,” joked another.
And yet another added: “Scary but bald does suit you.”

Meanwhile, other Stephen supporters went even further than suggesting it merely suited him.
