Steph McGovern hosting new Packed Lunch talk show

Steph McGovern is set to host new Channel 4 talk show ‘Steph’s Packed Lunch’.

The 38-year-old journalist will be joined by the likes of Gemma Atkinson, Vogue Williams and Oti Mabuse for the upcoming series, which will be broadcast live from a new studio at Leeds Dock.

She said: "Look at this team! This is one ‘Packed Lunch’ of a show, full to the brim with loads of great items, people and food.

"We’re going to have loads of fun and bring the nation positive vibes in the middle of the day, all from our fancy new studio in Leeds.

"Thinking about it all is making me hungry to get started!"

Gemma, Vogue and rapper Lady Leshurr will join Steph in the studio each week to revela what viewers have been talking about at home.

Meanwhile, ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ star Oti will take everyone behind the scenes of auditions for her new tour, and Giovanna Fletcher will present a look at the rise in home births.

The launch line up also features football pundit Chris Kamara giving a sideways look at the day’s news with ‘One O’Clock Views’.

Over in the kitchen, the likes of Jack Stein, Doctor Rupy Aujla and former ‘Great British Bake Off’ winner John Whaite will rustle up some lunchtime treats.

And Doctor Helen Lawal and Doctor Javid Abdelmoneim are set to join the show as resident medical experts.

‘Steph’s Packed Lunch’ is coming to Channel 4 last this month, and the network has promised "celebrity guests, fantastic food, intriguing real-life features and a mix of the best entertainment, lifestyle and consumer news making the headlines".

There will also be a studio audience from different communities, who will be involved across the programme, from chatting to the famous guests to reviewing the day’s news.
