Former BBC Breakfast host Steph McGovern, 38, has shared her excitement over returning to filming in a studio environment after she took a break from her self-titled Channel 4 programme, The Steph Show, due to coronavirus lockdown restrictions. The star was filming her new show from the home she shares with her partner and their baby, but decided to wait to record more episodes until she could work on the programme in a studio.
In view of her 403,000 Twitter followers, Steph announced her decision back in April in a post which read: “As much as I’ve loved doing a lockdown show at home I never expected it to go on this long.
“We’ve decided it’s time to have a break and give my family our home back.”
Revealing the date when the last show from her home would air, the host added: “The last locked down version of #TheStephShow will be next Thurs 7th May.
“Then the plan is to launch again at our fancy studios at Leeds Docks in a couple of months, once they’re safely up and running.”
