As the programme started, she gathered around her co-stars and emotionally reflected on the last three years of the Channel 4 show.<\/p>\n<p>She announced: &#8220;Today is our last show so we have got everyone here. Today is a proper family affair.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It is really lovely to have you all here and everyone watching at home. One of the reasons I have loved doing this show is because it is in the north.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We get to shout out about all the creative things the north has to offer. It has been amazing to broadcast live from Leeds everyday.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We have talked a lot of about the north, south divide, whether that really exists.<\/p>\n<p> <strong> READ MORE <\/strong> <strong>Denise Van Outen &#8216;sobbing&#8217; as she misses out on last day on Steph&#8217;s Packed Lunch<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/dynamic\/20\/590x\/secondary\/Steph-McGovern-Steph-opened-the-show-with-an-emotional-speech-5105882.jpg?r=1702043752555\"><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;What it means for jobs, transport and wealth and a lot of that being so London centric.
