Steph McGovern: BBC Breakfast star left ‘genuinely upset and embarrassed’ by TV discovery

Steph McGovern has spoken candidly about her health after undergoing a test on Easy Ways To Live Well. The former BBC Breakfast host underwent an analysis of her faeces for the BBC programme, leaving her both “upset and embarrassed” due to the findings.

The 37-year-old, who fronts the show with Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall, 55, admitted she was doing a “terrible job” when it came to looking after herself.

The footage explained how the new mum had a limited range in her diet, saying the good bacteria was struggling to survive on digested chocolate bars, Haribo and Monster Munch.

“I eat c**p to keep me going when I’m working very early,” she admitted to The Times. “But I was genuinely upset and embarrassed by what they found in my poo.

“I consider it my job to be well informed and good at what I do, but I realised that, looking after myself, I was doing a terrible job.”

It comes just days after Steph shared her thoughts about Phillip Schofield coming out as a gay.

She discussed his announcement on The Last Leg, after he told fans he was gay in a lengthy statement on Instagram.

Host Adam Hills asked Steph and her fellow guest, Sandi Toksvig, 61, about their thoughts on the This Morning’s star’s news.

Steph said: “I don’t think it should be news, at the end of the day, it should be normal that people are gay and we don’t make it on the 6pm news or whatever.”
