Early-life: Stephen Daniel Mulhern was born in Minehead on April 4, 1977 to Maureen and Christopher. He has two older brothers and a younger sister. He started to learn about magic when he was 14 and his first break as an entertainer came when he performed his magic show at Butlins when he was 17. It led to him being offered a job as a Redcoat at Minehead. His first taste of TV began in 1998 as a CITV presenter. He went on to co-host Finger Tips with Fearne Cotton and Naomi Wilkinson, children's show Tricky TV and Holly & Stephen's Saturday Showdown with Holly Willoughby.

Career: Mulhern moved on to more adult fare in 2006 when he hosted ITV2 spin-off Dancing on Ice: Defrosted.

Since 2013, he has presented a revived version of ITV game show Catchphrase. He has also appeared in a number of pantomimes. In 2012, he began co-presenting a Sunday breakfast show on Heart radio alongside Emma Willis.

Quote: 'I wanted to be the new Paul Daniels,' he says. 'I wanted to have that show where the best and biggest acts from around the world would do a couple of tricks and I'd introduce them.'

Trivia: Mulhern has released a number of children's magic sets, toured the UK with Stephen's Mega Mad Magic Show and performed his magic act in front of the Queen at a Royal Variety Performance.

Stephen Mangan (Contestant)

Born: July 22, 1972 in London

Best Known For: Green Wing and Episodes.

Early-life: Born on July 22, 1972, in London, and was raised in Hertfordshire. His parents were Irish, and his father owned a building company. He became interested in acting after appearing in numerous school plays, but never thought he would tread the boards professionally. Instead, he studied law at Cambridge University, but decided against being a solicitor after taking a year out to care of his terminally ill mother. After a spell at Rada, he began landing theatre roles.

Career: Mangan became a regular on the West End stage, and apart from some foreign adverts, steered clear of TV work for years. He made his film debut in Martha, Meet Frank, Daniel and Laurence in 1998, and had a small role in Billy Elliot. Early TV appearances came in Big Bad World, Sword of Honour, In Defence and Human Remains before his big break as the lead in Adrian Mole: The Cappuccino Years. He's worked consistently in movies and on TV ever since, with roles in Jane Hall, Marple, Never Better, I'm Alan Partridge, Hyperdrive, and the acclaimed Green Wing. His recent work includes Dirk Gently and Episodes on TV, as well as several well-received stage performances.

Quote: 'I love playing unattractive parts. I want to be really horrid. I want people to really hate me. Maybe one day in analysis, I'll discover what that's all about.'

Trivia: Away from showbiz, Mangan is a Tottenham Hotspur fan. He attends games with Tamsin Greig's husband, actor Richard Leaf.
