Stephen Mulhern has left his fans utterly speechless with a very revealing new backstage photo.
The Deal or No Deal host shared a steamy snap with his followers on X – formerly known as Twitter – to shrug off the Monday morning blues with toned abs firmly on show.
Posing with his shirt unbuttoned, Stephen flaunted a ridiculous six-pack as he flashed a smoldering look at the camera with his hands on his hips in the black and white picture.
He captioned the snap: ‘Just getting ready backstage before the show…’
His followers weren’t quite sure what to make of the display, but almost everyone was in agreement that there may be some trickery going on, whether it’s a costume, photoshop or even AI wizardry.
‘🤣🤣🤣 Nice try son 😜,’ laughed one fan, while another quipped: ‘Holy Photoshop, Batman…!!! (sic)’

Someone else teased: ‘Hello AI @StephenMulhern 🤣’
Others jokingly replied calling the post ‘unbelievable’, as another person described it as Stephen’s ‘boyband’ look and yet another joked: ‘You wish 😅’
A more balanced fan still paid the 46-year-old magician a compliment, as they responded: ‘You wish 😉 the face is giving smouldering xx’
And some followers seemed blown away regardless of who the abs actually belong to, as one person enthused: ‘🔥🔥🔥 wowsers!!!😍 @StephenMulhern ! xxx’
Last week, Stephen was among those to pay tribute to CITV as ITV ended the children’s TV channel in favour of the ITVX Kids platform.
He wrote: ‘Hello all, CITV started my career in TV, it was an incredibly special time learning the craft of how to present live TV. I will forever be thankful for every opportunity it has delivered. Great people, great shows and great times @ITV x’

His career has gone from strength to strength, and he’s set to take over from Noel Edmonds as the host of ITV’s upcoming Deal Or No Deal reboot, as revealed earlier this year.
He said at the time: ‘Wow what an opportunity, I’m beyond excited to be hosting the brand-new series.’
