Stephen Mulhern on ‘end’ of his romance with EastEnders star girlfriend Emma Barton
The couple met when they worked together on Snow White (oh yes they did!)
Deal or No Deal host Stephen Mulhern is hot property – but not much is known about his private life, for example, does he have a girlfriend?
The 47-year-old Celebrity Catchphrase presenter has become a firm favourite on television screens over the years.
However, when it comes to his love life, he is notoriously tight-lipped. However, he did previously date an EastEnders star, and recently admitted he works too much to maintain a love life.

Why did Stephen Mulhern and his famous love split?
According to Stephen, he split from Emma Barton – who plays Honey in the soap – because the relationship came to a “natural end” in 2011.
The couple met in 2008 when they were both cast in the Snow White pantomime at the Marlow Theatre in Canterbury. Emma played the lead role of Snow White, while panto veteran Stephen portrayed Muddles.
During an interview with Kent Online at the time, Emma said: “I have wanted to play [Snow White] since I was a child and I am just so excited about it.”
The EastEnders star started dating Stephen shortly after working together. During the relationship, the pair kept their romance out of the spotlight. Three years later, they made the mutual decision to call it quits.

Stephen is fairly secretive about his personal life. However, he did previously admit he’s a single man.
That makes me sound really sad! I need a life.
In an interview with Celebs Now, he confirmed: “Last time I went on a date was about four years ago. That makes me sound really sad! I need a life. I need to stop working so much.”
But he admitted that he’s keen to find “The One”.
