BBC Breakfast host Steph McGovern has revealed she had a “rough start” to her pregnancy.
In a candid discussion on the programme this morning (July 15), the presenter, 37, admitted she once nearly threw up on her co-star Charlie Stayt due to a bad bout of morning sickness.
Steph, who announced her pregnancy over the weekend, was congratulated by her BBC Breakfast colleagues on air as they reviewed the day’s newspapers.

The popular presenter admitted she found all the messages she received “quite overwhelming” and jokingly referred to an incident in 2018 that saw fans mistakenly wish her congratulations on being pregnant.
She said on the programme: “Last year I was like, ‘I’m not with child, I’m with pot belly’, as that’s what I was with. But now I am actually growing a human.”
The others asked how she felt and Steph said she had “a rough start”, adding: “Charlie nearly got watermelon over him one morning.”
BBC journalist Sally Nugent offered a helping hand and told Steph she would gladly be her midwife, having been birthing partner to co-star Victoria Fritz after she famously went into labour live on air in 2016.
Steph took to Twitter on Sunday (July 14) to confirm she is expecting after the Sun quoted a source who said the couple are “absolutely thrilled” at the prospect of starting a family.
They told the publication: “”
