Great to be working with you again."That might prove little consolation to Steph though, who admits that she will miss having him around.Vivek has also tweeted revealing his fondness for the show, boasting last month when he discovered that Steph's Packed Lunch had been shortlisted for Best Daytime Programme at the Broadcast Awards.He also jokingly listed his career highlight: producing a show featuring guest Stephanie Matto, who claimed she could earn £30,000 per week by selling her farts.Besides that bizarre story, in another, a tearful Katie Price opened up about her experiences with online trolls taking aim at her disabled son Harvey.Then, back in the summer, Vivek and Steph no doubt experienced a heart-in-mouth moment when comedian Joe Lycett appeared to spectacularly lose his sense of humour live on air.He seemed to take offence to one of Steph's playful jibes referencing a photo of him,
