Steph McGovern is addressing the rumored Holly Willoughby ‘kidnap plot’ amidst speculation that she might step into Holly’s role on This Morning. The 41-year-old TV presenter shared her thoughts following Holly’s announcement of her departure from the ITV show, citing a kidnap plot as the reason.
Steph expressed her confidence in her TV career and her relationship with the spotlight. She humbly acknowledged that she doesn’t see herself as famous as the 42-year-old Holly Willoughby.
Speaking to MailOnline before the recent news of her own show, Steph’s Packed Lunch, being canceled, she stated, ‘I think we’re all aware that we have a certain responsibility on air, and there’s such a mix of people out there watching.’
‘I don’t think I’m as famous as Holly Willoughby, if I’m honest, so I probably won’t ever have that problem,’ she added while attending the Virgin Atlantic Attitude Awards in London’s Roundhouse.
Steph also extended her best wishes to Holly as they discussed her departure from This Morning and didn’t rule out the possibility of joining the ITV show herself.
Regarding Holly’s exit, she said, ‘I don’t know her – I know she’s a fantastic broadcaster, so I wish her well. I don’t think I’ve actually even met her before.’
When asked about the prospect of taking a hosting role on This Morning, Steph commented, ‘I’m very happy at Channel 4, but never say never.’
These remarks were made just days before the announcement of the cancellation of Steph’s Packed Lunch, which will conclude in December. Rumors have since circulated that Steph is being considered for Holly’s position on This Morning.
