From a council estate in Middlesbrough to the forefront of British broadcasting, Steph McGovern sits down with Mo Gilligan to unpack her journey through the lens of beginnings, middles, and endings. In this refreshingly honest episode, Steph talks about growing up working-class, breaking into journalism via science and engineering, and carving out a space for her authentic self on-screen.

They dive into the challenges of motherhood, imposter syndrome, and the unexpected pressures that come with being a role model. Steph reflects on handling public scrutiny, staying grounded in fame, and learning to let go of guilt—whether at home or live on air.

Expect plenty of laughs, candid truths, and that unmistakable Northern grit.
