Steph McGovern gets mammogram on Steph’s Packed Lunch
Steph McGovern has opened up about why she has never agreed to sign up for Strictly Come Dancing ahead of the BBC show returning for a new season this autumn.
In a new interview with Prima Magazine, the Channel 4 host shared: “I’d love to be a contestant on Strictly Come Dancing, but it’s never been the right time to do it.
“I can’t do it now because I have the show and I don’t want to be away from my daughter, but I’m hoping it will still be going in years to come.”
Steph, 41, has a three-year-old daughter but she has decided to keep her name out of the spotlight.
Sharing a snippet of information about her home life, Steph added: “Our house is really fun, and full of love and laughter. We don’t take ourselves too seriously.

“We especially love our kitchen discos. I film at lunchtime, so I get to take my daughter to and from nursery every day, which is unbelievably amazing.
“Then, when we get home, I purposely try not to look at my phone until she’s in bed.
“We’ll just whack some music on and dance about for a bit. She also loves playing ‘imaginary zoo’ at the moment.”

Steph has also kept her girlfriend’s name out of the public eye, telling Huff Post: “I was never asked if I’m honest.
“I think because I didn’t necessarily look like a gay woman I don’t think people ever bothered to ask me.
“And so my kind of coming out was being pregnant because obviously everyone then asked questions.
“Also, I grew up in the era where, although there weren’t that many gay women on telly, I felt like there were loads around me in my social setting, so I didn’t feel like I needed to do a big thing of, ‘Hello I am gay.'”
Strictly Come Dancing is returning for an all-new season later this year, and a host of celebrities are rumoured to be taking part.
They include Love Island’s Zara McDermott as well as television legends Les Dennis and Angela Rippon.
The official line-up is set to be announced by BBC bosses later this summer.
