Steph’s Packed Lunch star Steph McGovern, 40, has opened up about why she keeps the identity of her partner a secret in an exclusive interview with Express.co.uk.The Channel 4 star is known to give minimal reference to her personal life in public, despite being known for her open and friendly on-screen attitude.

The former BBC Breakfast star is known to have a female partner, and she announced that she had given birth to their two-year-old daughter back in November 2019.However, Steph never shares any pictures of her daughter or partner on social media and doesn’t mention their names in interviews.Steph explained: “Obviously, if you’re on the telly or in the public eye there will always be an interest in your personal life. “But I’ve always been really clear that I'm not going to talk about my partner or my child because they haven't chosen to be in the public eye.“I wouldn't want to put them up for the scrutiny that I get, and I don't want my relationship scrutinised, or my parenting, or for my daughter to feel any pressure in any way.“I'm sure she'll have enough of that herself on social media when she's older,” Steph added.“And I think actually people respect that.

I've always been really open about that. “I've never blurred the boundary. I've never ever posted a picture of my child. Not even with a little bear over the face or anything like that.  “I've never posted anything about my partner, other than random domestic stuff that we all have, but not anything that's personal. “I don’t really get asked because I think people understand that and that’s how I manage to keep the two separate.”Shortly before falling pregnant, Steph found out that her IBS meant that her gut health was in the bottom third of the population,.
