Stephen Mulhern on Rolling In It

According to some fans, Stephen is prone to reading out questions ‘too slowly’.

This led to comparisons between him and Bradley Walsh, host of The Chase.

Stephen would never survive The Chase with how slow he asks them!

Several people reckoned Bradley is much swifter at reading out what is front of him, especially in the final round.

How did viewers react?

One Twitter user asked Stephen: “@StephenMulhern I love you but can you not read those questions a bit quicker please?! #RollingInIt.”

Another reflected: “They were tricky end questions this week! Stephen would never survive [on] The Chase with how slow he asks them! #RollingInIt.”

“Too slow asking questions at the end, @BradleyWalsh would be a lot quicker,” moaned someone else.
