Steph revealed she is taking things one step at a time. She plans to mark the start of her weight-loss journey by simply washing her gym clothes.
“I’m going to wash my gym gear,” she added, simply.

After stepping away from BBC Breakfast and welcoming her first child, Steph returned to screens with her very own programme – The Steph Show.
It kicked off at the end of March and featured a mix of news and advice on the coronavirus pandemic, as well as entertainment, lifestyle segments and chats with special guests.
Channel 4 viewers called it the perfect “distraction” and the “best antidote” to the COVID-19 crisis.
I have decided today is the day to do something about it.
One said at the time on Twitter: “Total hats off to @thestephshowc4, that was uplifting, funny and down to earth. The best antidote! #TheStephShow.”
The Steph Show a hit
Another wrote: “So glad #TheStephShow is trending. This is the programming that will save us.”
A third tweeted: “Breath of fresh air and much needed to distract from the current run of doom and gloom being broadcast everywhere else. #TheStephShow #StayAtHome #positivity.”
