ITV bosses were reportedly delighted with Mulhern's performance during the filming of two pilot episodes of Deal or No Deal (Getty)[/caption]
Last month, he openly voiced his interest in hosting Deal or No Deal if it were to return.
He said: "Are they talking about it? The answer is yes. Would I love to host it? Yes, without fail. It’s one of the best game shows ever created."
It sounds like the host will be the only change to the show though, with ITV bosses deciding that the format doesn't need any tweaking.
"Deal or No Deal is such a strong format you don’t want to go fiddling with it," a source said. "It’s pretty much the same. The boxes are back, the banker is back and the 22 players. The only difference is Stephen, which gives it a fresh feel."
During its 11-year stint on Channel 4, roughly £40,000,000 was handed out in prize money to contestants. Only nine contestants ever managed to bag the £250,000 jackpot though.Explore more on these topics:
