The 39-year-old star recalled an earlier period in her career when she was presenting the business news on Chris Evans’ drivetime show while also working as a producer for Robert Peston.
She ended up at a party at Hyde Park – no, not at Number 10 – where Kylie Minogue was also in attendance, but things took an awkward turn partway through the night.
Speaking on Steph’s Packed Lunch on Channel 4, she said: ‘Kylie was there, I was literally living my best life… I was drinking, I’d taken the next day off work but obviously as a journalist you can’t take days off if news happens.
‘I got a phone call from… Robert Peston… He said, “We’ve got an interview with the Prime Minister in the morning, you need to get it organised but you can’t tell anyone, you need to get a camera man or woman there for me at number 10.” ‘
Steph admitted she was ‘hammered’ even as she tried to sort out equipment for the big interview, but she didn’t call time on her night out.
‘I was hammered. I rang the news desk to organise the cameras… They were like “You’re drunk, Steph, you need to go home,”‘ she added.
‘When I’d finally organised the camera crew, I put the phone down and was like I’m not going home yet, I’m dancing with Kylie Minogue, this is never going to happen again in my life…’
In the end, she didn’t even make it home as she went to a house party and got a lift straight to Number 10 where she had to get back to work.
She laughed: ‘So I didn’t go home and ended up going to a big party at Chris Evans’s house… He has a guy who works for him he calls Mrs Doubtfire and he [Chris] said “I’ll get him to give you a lift in the morning”…
‘So I got dropped off at Downing Street in one of Chris Evans’s spy 100 Ferrari cars and I had to and go this interview with the Prime Minister.
‘And I threw up in the loo of Number 10… But still, the interview went well!’
Steph’s Packed Lunch airs weekdays at 12.30pm on Channel 4 and All 4.
