STEPHEN Mulhern has been dealt some good news after landing a brand new series of his ITV show.
It’s been a difficult few weeks for the TV star, 47, after he faced a hospital dash owing to ill health.
Amid his return to screens as co-host of Dancing on Ice with Holly Willoughby, Stephen has now seen his TV fortunes go even further.
Celebrity Catchphrase has been handed an eleventh series by ITV, according to TVZone.
The programme, which has become an early Saturday evening staple, will be signing up even more stars to “say what they see” for the brand new run.
The news of a brand new series comes as ITV still have a few more episodes from the previous tenth series in the can.
Details on when the remaining tenth series episodes and the brand new eleventh run are set to air will be revealed in due course.
It is good news for the star after his other ITV programme, In For A Penny, was shelved after six years.
The news comes after Stephen faced a series of heartbreaks towards the end of 2024.
He was left devastated following the passing of his father, Christopher.
Stephen was forced to pull out of commitments with Butlin’s holiday parks last month following the death.
The TV star, once the youngest member of the Magic Circle, was introduced to tricks by his dad and honed his skills while working on his market stall.

The star was believed to have reacted to an anaesthetic he had for an operation earlier that day.
An ambulance was called after staff became concerned for 47-year-old Stephen at around 8pm on Wednesday.
He was checked over by paramedics and taken from Sunningdale, Berks, to nearby Frimley Park hospital in Camberley, Surrey, as a precaution.
Stephen has been besieged by health problems over the past few years.
In April, he missed an episode of Ant and Dec’s Saturday Night Takeaway due to illness, meaning Jordan North was brought in to cover his segment.
And in March 2022, The Sun on Sunday revealed he had been taken to hospital with an unknown condition.
He missed two episodes, and joked on his return that his private jet had broken down in Hollywood.
He added: “No, seriously, I haven’t been too well.”
