Stephen Mulhern has come under fire from some fans after he shared a video of a prank he pulled on an innocent ASDA worker. The Catchphrase host is no stranger to posting entertaining videos to his Instagram and TikTok accounts.
But Stephen, 45, appears to have upset a few with his latest joke, with some pleading 'leave the woman alone' after he showed off his latest prank on the unbeknownst retail worker.
The cheeky video saw Stephen ask the ASDA worker for help at the Customer Services desk as he told her that his van had been blocked in while he and his camera crew were filming a segment and they wanted to leave.

The kind member of staff didn't hesitate to help agreeing to help Stephen out and asked the TV starfor the registration number of the vehicle causing the issues. However, it wasn't as innocenet as it seemed as he proceeded to spell out a very naughty sexual phrase.
Completely unaware, the ASDA employee issued a customer service announcement across the store, reading out the cheeky collections of letters to the store's customers.
After the announcement over the customer service desk, Stephen told the worker: "That's great, thank you so much. Have a good day," before giving a satisfied look to the camera. Captioning the post on Twitter, Stephen typed: "I wonder if anyone told her?"
Many of Stephen's followers were quick to see the funny side. @Mickiw1505 said: "Haha.. I'm crying with laughter that really made me laugh." @jwoddz01 commented: "Definitely gonna try this next time I go to the shops, this is brilliant!"
@natleesmith replied: "Oh my looorrdd!! Stephen that genuinely made me belly laugh, thank you." @Fancyduds10 laughed: "Aww bless her @asda. You are a wicked boy Stephen." @StuartHowlett added: "That’s my mother-in-law good old sally. Brilliant."
But some didn't see the funy side. @WARD3Y_ replied: "Probably one of the most unfunniest things i have seen on this app." @gentlemanmike said: "Aw poor lady @asda give her a pay rise, please!!"
@KatyEnglish18 commented: "What a waste of her time. Making fun of the lady." @DebbieXx10 posted: "This is the sort of thing teenagers do. SO not funny." @AlisonDraper17 complained: "Doing that to a woman who is at work for a days pay sad if that's what you have to do to keep your face in public eye."
Others, however, think it was all planned and jumped to Stephen's defence. @PhilHutchins91 said: "She was probably in on it from the start and could also have signed a consent form. It’s a bit of harmless fun."
