Steph McGovern recalled how a sex toy appeared on a Skype call during her time at BBC Breakfast.
The 41-year-old Channel 4 star previously worked on the BBC morning show back in 2010 as the programme’s main business presenter. And the broadcaster can remember a rather interesting interview involving a naughty toy.
During an appearance on the Not Bad For A Monday podcast, the TV star revealed some of the awkward virtual interviews she has conducted in the past. The mum-of-one told her childhood friend Claire and their producer Geoff about a virtual interview that took an unexpected turn.

She recalled: “You know this idea of setting up an area to look good. So obviously on tell there’s a lot of Skyping going on, but what’s funnier is that people don’t realise what’s behind them!
“We had a classic on Breakfast where on the fridge – now we can discuss why it was on the fridge, was a massive dildo.” Her friends couldn’t help but shriek: “What?” as she howled with laughter.
She went on: “This person was doing a really serious interview but all anybody was doing is, ‘Is that a dildo?’ and, ‘Oh my God, can someone zoom in on that shot, zoom in!’ but there’s nothing you can do with people’s camera positions, that’s it.”
It was at this point that Geoff wondered how such a thing ended up in the kitchen. Steph clarified: “Well, it was on top, it was resting on top. My biggest question is Why?
“Is someone using it as a stirrer for cooking?! I don’t know” as they burst out laughing. It comes after Steph confirmed her return to screens months after her lunchtime show Steph’s Packed Lunch was axed.
The TV host was left in tears when the Channel 4 daytime show came to an end in December. But the star is only on the up as she shared a snap on the set of the comedy quiz show Have I Got News For You.
Sharing a selfie in the car with her stylist, she joked: “’Let’s get a nice picture of us on our way to Have I Got News For You’, she says…” The TV personality also uploaded a photo of herself in the makeup chair before filming.
Fans soon flooded to the comments to congratulate her latest TV appearance. Broadcaster Nikki Fox penned: “HOT! Love you both” as another gushed: “Looking fab Steph. Let us know when the episode is on. I love when you’re on HIGNFY.”
A third suggested: “I think you should be the permanent host it’s always a good one when you’re on!” The presenter’s time on Steph’s Packed Lunch came to an end as part of a series of controversial cuts made by Channel 4 in their attempt to compete with streamers such as Netflix and Apple TV.
