Stephen Mulhern unleashes his inner Hugh Jackman for his latest photoshoot

Britain's Got More Talent host Stephen Mulhern has unleashed his inner Hugh Jackman in a magic-inspired photoshoot. 

In an interview with Heat Magazine, which saw also the presenter dress as Hugh's P.T Barnum from The Greatest Showman, Stephen, 42, said he found performing for children more nerve-racking than live television.

The presenter, who still dabbles with magic, also admitted that he had been suspended from the Magic Circle more than once for revealing the tricks of the trade.

Stephen, who began his career as a magician, revealed that he was recently asked to perform magic at Holly Willoughby's and Emma Willis' children parties and found the experiences more unnerving than performing for a live audience.

He said: 'I actually recently did Holly Willoughby's children's birthday parties – and Emma Willis'. 

'I tell you what, I can do live TV and present in front of huge amounts of people, but doing a kids' party when you haven't done one for a while – I was so nervous. It's mad, isn't it? Kids don't care if they shout out. And they're savvy.'

Stephen, who rose to fame on the children's show Finger Tips with presenter Fearne Cotton, also revealed that he was suspended by the Magic Circle after he suggested performing a small trick on Fearne and then explaining how it was done.
