Stephen Mulhern fans’ shock as secret romance with EastEnders actress remembered
Presenter Stephen Mulhern is known for keeping his relationships and private life out of the spotlight.
The Saturday Night Takeaway star is thought to be single at the moment, but he's had quite an interesting dating history.
The 44-year-old dated a well-known EastEnders actress and Strictly Come Dancing contestant a few years ago.
Stephen's former flame is none other than Emma Barton, also 44.
The pair reportedly dated for three years, but kept their romance private and out of the public eye.
They met back in 2008 after they were both cast in a pantomime production of Snow White at the Marlow Theatre in Canterbury.
Emma played Snow White, and Stephen played her best friend Muddles, and they reportedly hit things off straight away.

They got together shortly after, and dated for around three years before splitting in 2011.
According to Stephen, the romance came to "a natural end".
Their split is understood to have been amicable and a mutual decision.
Both Emma and Stephen are thought to be currently single.
Only last year, Stephen spoke to Celebs Now and stated he hadn't been on a date "for about four years", adding that "I need to stop working so much!"
