His brand new game show Rolling In It is set to launch on ITV this weekend.
And ahead of the exciting launch, Stephen Mulhern recalled his shock after celebrity contestant Gemma Collins rocked up with a huge entourage and occupied a dressing room bigger than him.
Discussing the 39-year-old TOWIE star’s appearance on his show, host Stephen, 43, admitted he was stunned by the amount of staff Gemma had brought along with her.

He told The Mirror: ‘I went into her dressing room, it was like a Who’s Who. And I had to start going round. I went “Sorry. Hello. I’m Stephen. Nice to meet you. So, what do you do?
“Oh, I’m Gemma’s PA.” PA? Right. “Do you mind if I ask what you do?” Oh, wardrobe. What? She’s only got one change’
‘You’re definitely makeup because yeah, you’re ready to go. And the dressing room was bigger than mine and I’m like, “How’s this worked?”‘
The former Britain’s Got More Talent presenter added that self-professed diva Gemma informed him that she was only taking part in the game show for him.

And when he reminded her that she didn’t even know what the show was about, she responded: ‘Oh, well, no’.
Stephen’s new show will see contestants pair up with celebrity partners, with the duo having to roll a coin down a moving conveyor belt towards slots which are labelled with varying sums of money.
And the game continues, the cash sums increases, but so does the penalties.
Stephen told how he consulted his dad and pals Ant and Dec for advice about filming the show, with the star fretting whether his new project will be a hit.
Can’t believe it: He told The Mirror : ‘I went into her dressing room, it was like a Who’s Who. And I had to start going round. I went “Sorry. Hello. I’m Stephen. Nice to meet you. So, what do you do?

Meanwhile, in an interview with The Sun, Stephen revealed that Britain’s Got Talent judge Amanda Holden once ‘flashed her boobs’ at him.
Talking about the blonde beauty, who he worked alongside for 13 years while hosting the spin-off show, he said: ‘The thing with Amanda is, what you see is what you get.
‘But it’s the things you don’t see — the stuff we have to take out of BGT — that will shock you.

‘I’ve had a flash of her boobs and I ask myself the same question, “How did that come about?” But it was all legal. It was on telly and we had to cut it out.’
He also went on to say that though fellow BGT star Alesha Dixon, 41, may appear ‘perfect’ while on the judging panel, she’s ‘a lot naughtier than she makes out’.
Stephen also discussed his long-term friendship with Holly Willoughby, 39, who he worked with on children’s TV in the early 2000s.
Describing the two of them as a ‘good match’, he added that he’d like to ‘steal’ her from Phillip Schofield, 58, as a presenting partner.
