Britain’s Got More Talent host Stephen Mulhern to host Catchphrase

CLASSIC gameshow Catchphrase is being brought back by ITV2 with Stephen Mulhern signed up to be the new Roy Walker.

Vernon Kay had been linked to the role but after five years hosting Britain’s Got Talent spin-off show, Stephen landed the job.

A pal said: “Stephen is over the moon that he is going to front the revival of such an iconic show.

“He feels he has worked his apprenticeship at ITV2 and has been rewarded with a fantastic opportunity. He can’t wait to get started. He’s really excited about it and has been watching old reruns.

“I’m sure he’ll come up with some of his own catchphrases, although ‘Say what you see’ may slip in there now and then.”

Belfast-born Roy hosted the show from 1986-99 and still keeps his hand in providing the voice for Chris Moyles’ Car Park Catchphrase on Radio 1.
