There is a lot of let's say unrealistic speculation from The Sun that Stephen is reportedly trying to go after Phillip Schofield's job as host of Dancing on Ice. That would mean that Stephen would have to potentially do that job as well as doing his current run of shows like Catchphrase, In for a Penny, the promotional ads for The National Lottery and then doing some side work on Ant & Dec's SNT as well as doing the potential job of hosting Deal or No Deal on top of it.

All I can say is Good Lord. That level of work is nuts.

That kind of workload to try and undertake daily while all under one contract for ITV1 is going to be huge for him. You have to wonder if Stephen is going to have to give up presenting some of his other current shows on ITV1 to prevent him from getting burnout in the future.

His workload with ITV at the moment is insane. I personally could not even consider trying to carry out that level of work for one broadcaster alone.

I would think that something has got to give way here and it has to happen soon.

I doubt that very much. Stephen's current ITV commitments only take up a set number of weeks in the year.

As above, Catchphrase is bulk filmed and I doubt it takes much more than a week or so (considering they film multiple episodes day). In For A Penny is probably a couple of weeks work, but I don't think they spend more than 2/3 days in a place which makes up 1 episode. Plus the SNT stuff is basically just 4 or 5 Saturday evenings (as he doesn't always appear on all episodes).

He's certainly got space in his diary considering he has done stuff like BGMT & Rolling In It in the past and they haven't really been replaced like for like.
