Speaking about which of her his shows is his favourite, and his hectic schedule s hectic schedule while filming Dancing on Ice, Stephen told OK!: "I love Dancing On Ice because it’s new and fresh. It’s my first year, so it’s taken the top spot.
"But Deal Or No Deal is a really close second – it’s amazing and is coming back for another series this year. There’s something about that show that is magic. Former host Noel Edmonds told me that when I took over, and he was completely right.
"Then I’m also going to be doing Ant & Dec’s Saturday Night Takeaway, and In For A Penny, too – so it’s busy!"
He also opened up about reuniting with Holly Willoughby, with whom he previously presented Saturday Showdown, as he told us: "It’s been great to see her and spend more time with her. Life is life and it’s busy, so it’s good to see her all the time.
"When I joined [Dancing On Ice], Holly’s advice was just to be ourselves and because we’re friends, that comes naturally. We’ve known each other a long time, so I can work out quite easily when she’s going to say something and I’ll stop talking. It makes it so much easier when you know the person you’re hosting alongside."
