Wearing a pain expression, Steph rolled up her trouser leg to reveal a nasty-looking graze to her knee.

The Steph’s Packed Lunch studio could be seen behind the star as she wore a full-face of glam and bright pink jumper.

In the next story, the presenter shared a close-up snap of the wound, which was starting to sport a large bruise around the knee.

Steph went on to explain to her followers how she had sustained the injury.

The star posted multiple clips of herself in the gym today doing squats, weights, and a full body circuit.

Last month, Harry Potter actor Miriam Margolyes caused a stir when she branded the Middlesbrough native “not beautiful”.

Discussing her new show Lost in Scotland, Miriam revealed she preferred to be on stage and claimed she was lucky to have had so many roles on-screen as she’s “not pretty”.

The actress went on to tell Steph that she also wasn’t beautiful but had “something that makes people want to watch” her.

“I’ve got the same, we’re lucky,” she added, implying that it was a good thing.

The presenter took the comment well, and replied: “I think you’re onto something with this though because I think being beautiful is a hindrance.

“So I’m glad I’m not the beautiful one because there’s then so many expectations of you,” she added.

Steph’s Packed Lunch is on weekdays at 12.30pm on Channel 4.
