Steph McGovern has said a fond farewell to a colleague she claims to have \u201cstolen\u201d from the BBC, after the duo met while they were both working on BBC Breakfast.<\/p>\n

On Friday (November 10) the star took to her Instagram stories to pay tribute to Steph\u2019s Packed Lunch producer, Danielle Hayden.<\/p>\n

Sharing an on-set photograph of her Channel 4 colleague cheekily doing a rude hand gesture to the camera, Steph, 41, told her 121,000 Instagram followers: \u201cOne of my favourite people on the planet is producing her last @packedlunch4 show today.<\/p>\n

\u201cI stole @danielleayd from the BBC after many years working together on Breakfast.\u201d<\/p>\n

Underneath the picture of Danielle, Steph continued: \u201cPs. It\u2019s also her 30th b\u2019day today. God damn her for being so young, so talented, so funny\u2026 and so unbelievably rude.\u201d<\/p>\n

The goodbye post comes just weeks after it was announced that Steph’s lunchtime talk show was to be axed.<\/p>\n

After three years on air, Channel 4 has pulled the plug, while a spokesperson claimed the broadcaster was still \u201cincredibly proud\u201d of all Steph\u2019s Packed Lunch has achieved.<\/p>\n

They continued: “Steph has not only made the nation\u2019s lunchtimes more entertaining and brilliantly reflected the views and pre-occupations of the country, but the show has also been an outstanding springboard for developing local talent behind the scenes.<\/p>\n

“However, with audience habits changing quicker than ever, we have to make difficult decisions about which programmes to invest in to best drive our digital-first strategy and we have decided not to recommission Steph\u2019s Packed Lunch when its existing production contract ends in December 2023.\u201d<\/p>\n

As well as hosting the chat show, Steph has previously worked as a presenter on BBC Radio 5 Live and on BBC Breakfast between 2010-2019.<\/p>\n
