By The Afternoon Star | Entertainment Desk
In a stunning turn of events that has sent fans into a frenzy, Stephen Mulhern has broken his silence—and this time, the truth on his romance with Josie Gibson came straight from the source.
🎙️ Live TV Confession
On this morning’s episode of This Morning, hosts Ben Shephard and Cat Deeley grilled Mulhern about the ongoing dating rumours once and for all. Under the bright studio lights, the magician-turned-presenter visibly shifted in his chair as the conversation turned to Josie.
“Listen,” Mulhern began, hesitating for a beat, “she didn’t turn up to rehearsals—I held her hand and I showed her where to stand. That is it… but yes, it’s more than that now.” He paused, gaze dropping as the audience hushed.
That moment of hesitation? It was all it took. The crowd let out a collective gasp before breaking into spontaneous applause—the admission everyone’s been waiting for.
💞 From Friend Zone to Front Page
Their chemistry first sparked speculation last year, when paparazzi captured the pair holding hands backstage at Saturday Night Takeaway. Both stars had consistently denied any romance—Mulhern even quipped “finito!” on TV—while Josie once playfully confessed, “I’m in love with Stephen Mulhern… but I don’t think he loves me” en.wikipedia.org+12standard.co.uk+12thesun.co.uk+12thescottishsun.co.uk+2thesun.co.uk+2thesun.co.uk+2.
But today's remark flips the script.
