OHMYGOSSIP — Stephen Mulhern is set to host ‘Britain’s Got Talent: The Ultimate Magician’.
The one-off special will feature performances from ten magical acts, and Stephen is thrilled to be part of the show.
He explained: “Honestly, when you see the magic, it’s such a great idea. Especially over Christmas, do you know what I mean? A magic show over Christmas for the family to watch – it’s great.”
Stephen, 45, noted that magicians have already proven to be hugely popular with the ‘Britain’s Got Talent’ audience.
He said: “I think a lot of people sometimes forget is that when the audience at home had the chance to vote for who they want in the final – which I think was two years ago this happened – they voted six magicians into the final. So the want for magic, it’s always there.
“Magic always does well and I’ve said many times that my dream job would be to host a magic show. I’m hoping this is one step closer to actually getting that to come to fruition, really.”
Amanda Holden, Alesha Dixon and David Walliams will all return to the judging panel, and they’ll be joined on the show by Las Vegas legend Penn Jillette.
Stephen is also thrilled that Penn has agreed to join the show.
He said: “It was a tough competition because none of them would take any prisoners. There was that camaraderie to a point.
“But in the same breath there was, ‘I want to win this’. I think having Penn on the panel added a lot more pressure to them. I think they would’ve had an easier run if he wasn’t there.”
The winner of the show will be chosen by the theatre audience and they will ultimately walk away with a £50,000 prize.
‘Britain’s Got Talent: The Ultimate Magician’ will air on December 18.
