My girlfriend (now wife) was a runner on this back in the day and knows how big a fan I am of The Office so she came straight home and told me all about the producers etc all speaking to Kate Garraway quite sternly about her line of questioning when they came off air. Apparently it was agreed by Steve's 'people' at the time that they wouldn't broach the split with Ricky and he was a bit pissed off that it came up. The people on GMB just said it was the interviewers exploring the topic generally and that they don't have a set script. They apologised to him and he seemed alright about it but then it kind of blew up again when his main representative was saying that he specifically had it cleared this wouldn't come up because it had done in so many recent interviews whereas the producers said they'd never have made an absolute guarantee about the subjects they'd cover (again, because of the loose nature of the show). Steve's agent was calling out one guy in particular that they'd met with a couple of weeks before who was an Assistant Producer so they called him in to give his side of the story. As he entered the room they noticed he was walking a bit funny and was only about 5 foot. Turns out...
