Stephen Mulhern's forgotten romance with EastEnders star after they met in ... trends now
Stephen Mulhern is regarded as one of the most-loved and respected TV presenters in the UK.
However, the 47-year-old star - who is currently single - has kept his personal life incredibly secret over the years.
He previously dated EastEnders actress Emma Barton, who plays Honey Mitchell in the BBC soap, but they split in 2011.
The two first met in 2008 when they were both cast in the Snow White pantomime at the Marlowe Theatre in Canterbury.
Emma played the lead role of Snow White, while Stephen portrayed Muddles, court jester to the Queen and Snow White's best friend.

Emma was previously married to lawyer lawyer Nigel Stoat between 2002 and 2005.
She is now in a relationship with music producer Jason Perry, who she often shares loved-up snaps with to her social media.
