CITV presenters reunite 23 years after hosting hit show together that launched star’s career
TWO CITV presenters have reunited 23 years after hosting the show that launched their careers.
Telly fave Stephen Mulhern posed for a new snap with former co-host Danielle Nicholls and the paired looked as close as ever.
Stephen, 47, and Danielle, 45, presented kids’ morning show CITV together from 1998 to 2001.
She took to Instagram to share a photo of them together this week, sending fans wild.
Alongside the snap Danielle wrote: “An absolute joy (as always) to spend time with my wonderful friend @stephenmulhern.”
Rushing to comment, one follower said: “Wow. My favourite CITV presenters. It’s so reminds of the old days.”
Another wrote: “Lovely to see you two together.”
And a third added: “Looking as good now as you did back in the day. Whats your secret?”
CITV closed last year after more than 40 years on air and Danielle spoke about her memories of the show.
She told MailOnline: “The producers put a lot of trust in us and I don’t think anyone realises the grounding it gives you.
‘Thing is as well with it being live there was so little time between the link you could never take your mic off, so we’d have go to the toilet with our mic still attached and the sound crew could hear everything!”
And Danielle revealed how Stephen always looked out for her in the early days.
She added: “Once I almost gave my phone number out live on air! I literally got to the last digit and Stephen’s face just went white and he went ‘woooo’ and coughed and I stopped. We always saved each other.”
Last month it was revealed an ITV game show presented by Stephen has been shelved.
Due to his hectic schedule In For a Penny has been put on hold after six series.
TV Zone reported that, while filming for the programme has paused for now, the door has been left open for it’s return.
An ITV insider told the outlet: “Whilst Stephen is busy filming other projects over the summer, In For A Penny continues to be a much loved format for ITV.
“So don’t put your pennies away just yet as the team could be popping up in your local town, to challenge even more members of the public to take part in their unique and madcap games in the future!”
