Steph McGovern reveals she is ‘in agony’ with health issues and has lost weight as Channel 4 show Packed Lunch wraps

STEPH McGovern revealed she is 'in agony' with health issues and has lost weight after the latest series of Channel 4's Packed Lunch came to an end.

The TV presenter took to Instagram to open up about what has been going on with her body recently.

The star posted a makeup-free snap to her account, with visible blisters on her face.

Steph, who recently celebrated her 40th birthday, captioned the post: “Here’s a pic of me looking rough, let me explain why…

“We’re coming to the end of this series of Packed Lunch (we’re on a summer break after tomorrow) and whenever I get to the end of a long run I get poorly. 

“I’ve always had this whatever job I’ve been doing. I bet lots of people are the same.

“This time I have a bad ear infection and blisters in/around my ear/hair/face. It has been agony."

The telly favourite further explained that she's on medication to help fight it off - however it has made other symptoms of another condition worse.

“I’m on a load of different drugs to try and treat infections and ease pain," Steph continued.

“Some of them are antibiotics, which has totally buggered up my gut health (you know how obsessed I am about that) so my IBS is back in full swing being a total b*tch.

“Anyway, I’m not meaning to moan (it’s not a big deal in the grand scheme of things and I’ll be fine after some rest).

“I just wanted to explain why I’ve been a bit quieter on here.

“And also to say, if you’re knackered/rundown/working too hard then please look after yourself and don’t let your health take a back seat like I have."

Steph has also recently lost weight due to suffering with irritable bowel syndrome.
