Stephen Mulhern has issued an announcement on the future of his ITV game show Deal or No Deal after taking up the mantle from Noel Edmonds. Fans have been pleading to know when – or indeed if – they can expect new episodes of the programme after the current series ended earlier this year.
One desperate fan begged on X: “@ITV @StephenMulhern When is Deal or No Deal back?” As another echoed: “Can’t wait for the new series. Have missed it!” Another joked: “Never mind the Banker. When’s Noel Edmonds coming back?”
Keen to answer the legions of fans wanting further information, Stephen tweeted: “Hello mate, Deal or No Deal is back in September! I can hear the Banker counting his money already!” He encouraged fans to sign up as contestants for the new series, telling them: “You’ve cried at the heartbreak. You’ve cheered at the celebrations. Now it’s your chance to hold the box…”

But it comes after a huge change for Mulhern, whose £1million contract with Butlin’s comes to an end this year. The Dancing on Ice star, 48, has been the face of the chain for three years, but won’t be renewing his contract.
After starting out as a Redcoat entertainer at the holiday chain, he returned to stages in Minehead, Bognor Regis and Skegness as part of his lucrative deal, but now a spokesperson has told The Mirror: “Stephen has absolutely loved being part of the Butlin’s family – performing his stage shows in front of thousands of holiday makers across the country and the relationship with Butlin’s remains hugely positive.
“This change allows Stephen to explore new opportunities in the family holiday space – something he’s incredibly passionate about.”
A Butlin’s spokesperson added: “Stephen has been an incredible part of the Butlin’s experience and continues to be a valued member of the family. Stephen’s much-loved live show won’t return in 2026 after three fantastic years, but we’re thrilled to be working together on ongoing projects this autumn.”
