Steph McGovern's daytime show Steph's Packed Lunch will come to an end on Channel 4 in December, it has been announced.
The lunchtime show, which is filmed in Yorkshire, launched in 2020 during the coronavirus pandemic lockdown and was initially broadcast from McGovern's living room in Harrogate. Channel 4 also brought the debut air date forward, saying it hoped it would bring some positivity into the lives of viewers. It later moved to its current studio setting in Leeds.
'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's Packed Lunch when its existing production contract ends in December 2023. 'We remain as committed as ever to our mission to help level up the TV industry outside London and to our 50 per cent origination out of London target.
