An ITV presenter's long-standing magic act at Butlin's has come to an end after three years.

Stephen Mulhern will not return to perform at the chain’s centres at Minehead, Bognor Regis and Skegness beyond this summer.

The 48-year-old's deal with the holiday centres was reported to be valued at around £1 million.

Mulhern had worked as a Redcoat at Minehead Butlin's between 1995 and 1996 before he broke into TV work.

As reported by Somerset Live, a spokesperson for Mulhern said: “Stephen has absolutely loved being part of the Butlin’s family – performing his stage shows in front of thousands of holiday makers across the country and the relationship with Butlin’s remains hugely positive.

"This change allows Stephen to explore new opportunities in the family holiday space – something he’s incredibly passionate about.”

A Butlin’s spokesperson said: “Stephen has been an incredible part of the Butlin’s experience and continues to be a valued member of the family.

“Stephen’s much-loved live show won’t return in 2026 after three fantastic years, but we’re thrilled to be working together on ongoing projects this autumn.”

The show is continuing for 2025, with dates at Minehead as well as Bognor Regis and Skegness.

Families can choose a 'Summer Holidays Feat Stephen Mulhern' package to ensure they get to see him, which runs on selected school holiday breaks.
