Channel 4.But Steph McGovern has revealed that she almost threw up her tasty breakfast while interviewing Gordon Brown.What many fail to remember is the fact that the 39-year-old presenter formerly worked as a political journalist during the height of the financial crisis in the late nineties.As a result, the blonde bombshell often found herself rubbing shoulders with the biggest names in the Houses of Parliament – including none other than the then-Prime Minister himself.However, he wasn’t always the cool cat she appears to be on TV nowadays, as the mum-of-one confessed how she loved nothing more than splashing her cash on a wild night out on the town with friends.But it’s fair to say her crazy antics backfired when she was suddenly called to interview the former Labour Party leader at Number 10 after a heavy night of drinking.Speaking to Woman&Home magazine, the star confessed that the night before her interview she was partying with none other than Chris Evans and Kylie Minogue in the heart of Hyde Park.She told the publication: “One night, I ended up partying all night with Chris Evans at a party in Hyde Park, where Kylie [Minogue] was too.“I was meant to be off the following morning but was called to Downing Street with Robert Peston to interview Gordon Brown.

The popular channel 4 show won’t be on air for two weeks.The series, which is filmed live in Leeds Dock, will be replaced by Couples Come Dine with Me and Find It, Fix It, Flog It from Monday April 11.This means that Friday’s show on April 8 will be the last episode for a while.However, fans shouldn’t panic as the series is just taking a well-earned Easter break.A Packed Lunch spokesperson confirmed to The Sun: "The series is taking two weeks off for Easter but will return on Monday April 25th."On Wednesday (April 6), the show took an awkward turn when series regular Luke Kempner appeared to storm off the set after Steph made a joke that he had "no personality" during a debate on whether intelligence or personality helps get people further in their career.

Once they're doing the job you can usually see [what they're like] really quickly."Steph then quipped her co-star Luke would have trouble as he lacks both personality and intelligence.She said: "I just wonder what you do though when you have no intelligence and no personality though, like Luke."The studio erupted in laughter before Luke said "I ain't having that.

Sometimes you barely notice before it’s a problem.”She then said that sports stars and celebrities have a “role in the community and to young people”.The 47-year-old also agreed that it was a “good thing” to ban people in the limelight from advertising gambling, but that it doesn’t address “the root of the problem”.Kate called for a “bigger conversation on addiction in communities” and that we need to ask “why these things happen”.Steph also told viewers that Kate had to perform a recent funeral for someone that had a gambling addiction and she said that betting is “easy” nowadays, as apps can be accessed “on your phone, all the time”.John Whaite then gave his thoughts: “In some communities it’s almost become a cultural thing, what people in that community do, as that’s all there is.
