Stephen Mulhern breaks silence after being 'punched' by Ricky Hatton on Dancing On Ice

ok.co.uk:

Stephen Mulhern has responded after he was "punched" by champion boxer Ricky Hatton during the launch of Dancing On Ice on Sunday night, 14 January.

The TV funny man and presenter made his highly-anticipated debut alongside Holly Willoughby on the ITV competition show, having taken over from previous host Phillip Schofield.

But in a completely unexpected skit on the show, Stephen, 46, was knocked flying by the show contestant. Ricky, 45, who is taking part in this year's series, unfortunately ended up in the skate-off on next Sunday's show.

But before that, he was part of a pre-arranged segment that saw Stephen pretend to goad the contestant. The presenter tried to make Ricky hold a microphone for him, but the contestant quickly became less and less impressed.
