This announcement coincides with a major transition for Mulhern, as his lucrative £1 million contract performing live stage shows for Butlin’s comes to an end this year, after three successful years.

With his live shows concluding in 2026, Stephen is now set to explore new opportunities within the family holiday industry, a field he is passionate about. The Butlin’s representative added, “Stephen has been an incredible part of the Butlin’s experience and continues to be a valued member of the family. While his much-loved live show won’t return next year, we’re excited to collaborate on new projects this autumn.”
As Deal or No Deal returns to ITV screens in the autumn, fans can look forward to new episodes available to stream on ITVX, promising more suspense, drama, and fun under Stephen Mulhern’s charismatic hosting.
