"I never took pictures with anyone in the police station," he said.

The 43-year-old's per-drama contract with TVB ends this September and he said no one has approached him to talk about renewing it. He does have other plans in mind.

All these failed performances made Stephen couldn't help to tease Wong He, "No wonder TVB didn't sign you the TVB management contract, your hosting skill isn't as good as Amigo Chui's!"

Wong He replied sourly, "I am not as good as Amigo Chui! I'm just doing it for someone. I'll donate my pay to Amigo." Stephen explained, "I was just joking! But indeed he isn't that good in hosting. Amigo was supposed to host for this event, but he couldn't seeing that many people. I listen to what he said now. He is insecure, doesn't believe in people, and is anxious in front of reporters.
