Stephen Mulhern's suggestive quip during a family-friendly show left viewers shocked and disappointed.
Dancing On Ice viewers expressed shock and disapproval after Stephen Mulhern made an X-rated joke during the ITV show. On X, fans criticized the 47-year-old presenter for the remark, which implied a sexual act, during a family program that airs before the watershed. Holly Willoughby , Mulhern's co-host, also reacted visibly to the joke, dropping her jaw in surprise.
The incident occurred as Holly introduced Love Island star Chris Taylor and his partner Robin Johnstone's performance to JVKE's song Golden Hour. Stephen, seemingly misunderstanding Holly's reference, responded with a suggestive quip, prompting a sigh of relief from him when Holly clarified her intention. Viewers took to X to express their disappointment, questioning the appropriateness of the joke at 6:30 pm on a Sunday evening. Some pointed out the timing of the incident, coming in the wake of allegations against another ITV star, Gino D'Acampo, for misconduct, raising concerns about the network's sensitivity in handling such matters. Fans expressed worries that Mulhern's comment was insensitive and out of place, especially considering the current climate surrounding television presenters. Chris Taylor became the fourth celebrity eliminated from Dancing On Ice after landing in the skate-off with Anton Ferdinand. Stephen Mulhern took over co-hosting duties from Phillip Schofield, who resigned from ITV following an affair with a younger runner on This Morning. Metro has contacted ITV and Stephen's representative for comment. Dancing On Ice continues to air Sundays at 6:30 pm on ITV and ITVX
