Everyone has got their own work hangover stories, but weâll bet none of them are as good as Steph McGovernâs.
The Packed Lunch presenter has revealed how she once âthrew upâ in the toilets of 10 Downing Street after a night partying with Kylie Minogue.
Steph recalled how sheâd once been sent to No.10 to interview then-prime minister Gordon Brown while she was nursing a hangover from dancing the night away with one of the biggest stars in the world.
The host â who perviously presented the business news on Chris Evansâ drivetime radio show and worked as a producer for political journalist Robert Peston â had been invited to a party in Hyde Park by Chris, which was attended by the pop princess.
But she ended up paying the price the following day when she was sent on a last-minute dispatch to meet the PM.
Speaking on Mondayâs edition of Stephâs Packed Lunch, Steph recalled: âKylie was there, I was literally living my best life. I was drinking, Iâd taken the next day off work but obviously as a journalist you canât take days off if news happens. I got a phone call from Robert Peston. He said, âWeâve got an interview with the prime minister in the morning, you need to get it organised but you canât tell anyone, you need to get a camera man or woman there for me at number 10.ââ
Steph continued: âI was hammered. I rang the news desk to organise the cameras. They were like âYouâre drunk, Steph, you need to go homeâ.
âWhen Iâd finally organised the camera crew, I put the phone down and was like Iâm not going home yet, Iâm dancing with Kylie Minogue, this is never going to happen again in my life. So I didnât go home and ended up going to a big party at Chris Evansâ house.
âHe has a guy who works for him he calls Mrs Doubtfire and he [Chris] said âIâll get him to give you a lift in the morningâ⊠So I got dropped off at Downing Street in one of Chris Evansâs spy 100 Ferrari cars and I had to and go this interview with the prime minister.â
Steph, laughingly added: âAnd I threw up in the loo of Number 10⊠But still, the interview went well!â
Stephâs Packed Lunch airs weekdays at 12.30pm on Channel 4.
