Steph McGovern, 38, and her partner welcomed their baby in late 2019. However, the star has now opened up in a revealing interview on Giovanni Fletcher’s podcast Happy Mum, Happy Baby about the pregnancy.
Speaking to the I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! winner, Steph admitted she wasn’t looking forward to being pregnant.
Giovanni asked the Packed Lunch presenter: “Was it hard deciding who would carry the baby?”
Steph replied: “No, no. It was always going to be me.
“In fact, I think actually it’s funny isn’t it, because that’s the bit I didn’t want to do.
“I actually thought, ‘I’m not fussed about being pregnant’”.
However, while she initially wasn’t looking forward to this part of having a baby, she explained she grew to love it.
Although there was an incident with morning sickness which has damaged her view of a certain supermarket brand.
She continued: “Then when I was I actually – apart from the morning sickness, that was horrendous and I still can’t look at the Co-op logo because I once threw up in the vegetable aisle.
“And it’s really awkward because a new Co-op opened on our street and I was like ‘I can’t even look at it.’
“So that was horrendous but then after that, I felt really fit because I wasn’t drinking.
“And I thought I would hate it and I did hate it but I got used to it and then I was just so fit.”
The former BBC Breakfast presenter gave birth to her daughter in November 2019.
