Steph's Packed Lunch host Steph McGovern has addressed rumours that she will be joining hit BBC show Strictly Come Dancing when it returns this Autumn.
During the latest episode of her hit Channel 4 day time show, which is filmed in Leeds, Steph spoke about the possibility of an appearance after being probed by her peers.
She said: "I've turned it down in the past, never say never." However, her comments didn't sit well with Strictly judge Anton Du Beke, who was a guest on the show.

Du Beke joked that he'd feel personally affronted if Steph signed up for the dancing competition now that he had left as he appeared on Packed Lunch.
He said: "If you did Strictly Come Dancing now, after me asking you to dance it with me for about 12 years and you saying no, now that you'd dance it with one of the young, firm boys… I'd be your worst judge ever."
Steph joked: "You see, the thing is, that's what's holding me back, I would worry you'd be too compromised because you'd want to give me 10 all the time."
The 40-year-old TV presenter went on to comment on Du Beke's refusal to give into her pleas for a Strictly spoiler over the upcoming line-up.
"It is funny. These rumours in the paper, you do wonder where they come from. Although I've been trying to get it out of Anton who's going to be on it this year and he's like 'No, I’m not telling you!'"
In one final bid to get a response out of McGovern, Denise Van Outen, a former Strictly runner-up, gave probing another shot as she asked: "Are we watching this space then, Steph?"
Keeping her poker face well in place, Steph replied: "Never say never."
Steph's Packed Lunch airs weekdays at 12.30pm on Channel 4 and All 4.
