It comes just a day after the BBC announced long-running soap Doctors will come to an end after 23 years because of increasing costs
Bosses confirmed the Channel 4 show will come to an end in December amid the broadcaster's battle to cut costs. The lunchtime show launched in 2020 during the coronavirus pandemic lockdown and was initially broadcast from McGovern’s living room in Harrogate.
A statement said: “Steph has not only made the nation’s lunchtimes more entertaining and brilliantly reflected the views and pre-occupations of the country, but the show has also been an outstanding springboard for developing local talent behind the scenes.
“We have almost 500 roles outside of London and this will continue to increase over the next few years. We will continue to build on the legacy of the show, evolving what we do in line with our digital ambitions whilst continuing to reflect the lives of, and give a voice to, all our audiences across the UK and hope to work with Steph on other projects soon.”
