Fans of Deal or No Deal were left scratching their heads as returned to the show today, just days after reports emerged of his recent health scare.

The host was rushed to hospital on Wednesday following a dramatic collapse at a Pizza Express in Sunningdale, Berkshire. His sudden illness has sparked questions about whether his quick return is a sign of resilience or if the show is pre-filmed.

Taking to X (formerly Twitter), one fan asked, “Hope Stephen Mulhern is feeling ok today after collapsing on Friday #DealOrNoDeal.” Another added: “When is #DealOrNoDeal recorded? Wasn’t Stephen admitted to hospital???” to which another fan replied: “Heard that too or he made a quick recovery.”

The incident occurred amid what is reportedly a challenging time for Mulhern. A source told The Sun: “Stephen has been going through an incredibly tough time of late. He is grieving the loss of his dad to whom he was so, so close.”

Today’s show marked Stephen’s first appearance since the health scare.
