TV favourite Steph McGovern was in for a surprise during her live lunch-time show on Wednesday, which happened to be the North East presenter's 41st birthday.
The host was interrupted mid-show by chef and show regular John Waite with some birthday surprises which included a video screening from South Gosforth Metro station where a Tannoy announcement was heard sending her special wishes. First Steph had been stopped in her tracks by a band playing happy birthday and then came on-screen footage showing the likes of a mural at Leeds Dock - painted in her honour - which features her name.
Then John remarked about Steph being a Metro user when back in her home region before saying that Metro had just made a very important announcement to all its passengers. There followed a clip showing the Metro station and a train as the Tannoy announcement was heard in the background.
