Steph McGovern, 38, was chatting with her childhood friend Claire and producer Geoff – who co-host the Not Bad For A Monday podcast – as she recalled an incident with a member of the production team while on set. The former BBC Breakfast presenter described how one time during filming, a camerawoman stood on Claire’s dress.
I was shaking my head

Steph recalled how Claire could not move and thought she perhaps was being “shy”.
She said: “I remember just walking in and I was shaking my head like, ‘Claire come on’, and I thought, ‘Oh God maybe she’s gone all shy or something.’
“So I go over, and I’m like, ‘Come on Claire what are you doing man?’ And she just pointed down at the floor, and the woman holding the camera was stood on the back of her dress!”
Producer Geoff then questioned why Claire didn’t raise the alarm.

He interjected: “So you didn’t think to say…”
Claire defended her actions by saying that she did not want to “interrupt” the camerawoman who was filming at the time.
She explained: “No cause I didn’t want to interrupt her because she was filming, so I just wanted to wait until she filmed her piece!”
The close friend of Steph revealed she couldn’t move “anywhere” while the foot remained firmly on her dress.
Steph continued: “The camera was pointed on me at this point, so I’m like thinking, ‘Why is my friend not talking to me?’ Then I had to tap the camerawoman, even though the camera was pointing at my face, I had to tap her on the shoulder and go, ‘You’re stood on my mate’s dress’.”
All three hosts on the podcast collapsed into fits of laughter over the admission.
Claire added: “She (the camerawoman) was mortified.”
The Not Bad For A Monday podcast streams every Monday on Acast, this week’s episode is the 21st in the series.
