Oti Mabuse discusses social media on Steph\u2019s Packed Lunch<\/h3>\n

Former Strictly Come Dancing star Oti Mabuse has expressed her heartbreak over Channel 4\u2019s decision to cancel Steph\u2019s Packed Lunch.<\/p>\n

The series was axed after just three years, with the last episode of the Leeds-based chatshow airing this December.<\/span><\/p>\n

Taking to Instagram, Oti shared a number of screenshots from her time on the show with her 677,000 followers.<\/p>\n

In the caption, she began: \u201cMy little 2 cents about @packedlunchc4 and @stephlunch herself as a huge light in my life.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThis show shot all the way in Leeds came into my life 4 years ago and completely changed it, the culture amongst the presenters, crew, production and audience is like no other.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Going on to praise host, former BBC Breakfast star Steph McGovern, she wrote: \u201cI can say first hand steph herself is an impeccable leader, a female empowerer, a brilliant presenter and the kindest hearted woman you\u2019ll ever meet in show business.<\/p>\n

\u201cLevel headed, educated, unthreatened and absolutely hilarious,\u201d she added.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe show gave people chances first time presenters, makeup artists, chefs, comedians, politicians it told stories most people wouldn\u2019t even touch and we heard some beautiful northern accents from all over the north that made it a completely different show.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt was never about ratings it was always about laughter, family building, nurturing new talent and creating a day time show that was conversational and natural, funny and covers topics that even I as a black girl could nod and say, \u2018Yes, I\u2019m going through that now.\u2019 <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cFinancial tips were made absorbable, politics was not this huge triggering topic, cooking was hilarious and everyone\u2019s opinions including the audiences\u2019 was accepted and mattered.<\/span><\/p>\n
