Steph McGovern: Last News

Steph’s Packed Lunch presenter Steph McGovern, 40, has opened up about difficulties she experienced during pregnancy thanks to her “terrible” IBS.The former BBC Breakfast star spoke about how she had since made a new breakthrough with her health thanks to expert Dr. Julia Jones in an exclusive interview with Express.co.uk. Steph has been very open about her struggles with IBS in the past, regularly posting about the subject on her Instagram feed. According to the NHS website, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a common condition that affects the digestive system. It causes symptoms like stomach cramps, bloating, diarrhoea and constipation - and it’s usually a lifelong problem.Steph’s symptoms were particularly bad when she was pregnant with her daughter a couple of years ago. The Channel 4 star and her partner announced the birth of their two-year-old daughter back in November 2019.Shortly before falling pregnant, Steph found out that her gut health was in the bottom third of the population, which forced her to think more about her health. Steph admitted: “That was pretty embarrassing, and I didn’t even know anything about gut health - that was for a TV show I was doing.“So then they talked to me about gut health and things I could do to make it better, saying that could help my IBS… But then I was pregnant.”The presenter then went on to detail the difficulties surrounding her pregnancy. “I had really, really bad pregnancy sickness, so I couldn’t really do anything about it,” she revealed. “Obviously I had the baby and was caught up with all that, and then when Julia came on and talked about her smart wellness programme, I thought: ‘Oh, well this actually sounds really easy to do.’”Steph met Dr.

Steph opened up about her smart attitude towards money in an interview with the Telegraph released in March. When the star was asked about her “best financial decision”, she revealed it was her move away from the BBC. She said: “Leaving the BBC and moving to Channel 4 to present Steph’s Packed Lunch. “I’m much better off now,” the star added.Despite describing herself as being “prudent with money” the Channel 4 presenter also admitted her “worst” ever purchase was a major one. When asked the question, she revealed: “My first house.

And since having a baby, I will regularly wake up and think I’ve lost her.“I imagine she’s in bed with me and I’ve dropped her, or I’ve lost her.

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,
