In a recent interview with HELLO! magazine, the TV star explained: "I think it's a brilliant show. And I've got some friends on it again this year, including Helen Skelton, who I'm really pleased is doing it. But it's just not the right time at the moment."
She went on to say: "I've got my show five days a week so I'd have to try and train every evening, and it wouldn't be fair on my little girl. She's so young, and I don't want to miss anything."
Beyond this, Steph keeps much of her private life under wraps, including her girlfriend's identity. "My family would probably want to be there [to support me], but that would expose them to newspaper coverage and everything else," she said.

"The audience would probably think, 'Why isn't the family there? Why doesn't she ever show them?'"
Steph and her partner share a two-year-old daughter, whose name they haven't publicly revealed and who they welcomed in November 2019. Steph, who carried their baby, previously opened up about some of her debilitating side effects in the early stages of her pregnancy.
Speaking to Giovanna Fletcher, she said: "The morning sickness, ah man, like that was horrendous and I still can't look at the Co-op logo because I once threw up in the vegetable aisle of the Co-op!"
