Steph McGovern celebrated her birthday yesterday with the unveiling of a blue plaque at Leeds Dock celebrating the ‘inclusivity and diversity’ of her weekday show Steph’s Packed Lunch.
The plaque was revealed by Martin Hamilton from the Leeds Civic Trust who said: “Steph, your contribution to broadcasting and culture in the city of Leeds is absolutely immense. You’ve turned Leeds Dock into a Hollywood Boulevard… famous people, public figures coming on the show and underpinned by your excellent journalism. We wanted to mark this… Today we have a special plaque just for you.”
The plaque reads: “Steph’s Packed Lunch brought live daytime television to the city on 14th September 2020. Hosted by Steph McGovern, a proud Northerner passionate about helping real people tell their stories, the production employs many local people offering some their first role in TV. The show provides a commitment to broadcasting in Yorkshire, with a focus in inclusivity and diversity.”
