I get the feeling he just shows his head round the door to remind people that it was originally his 'baby' - then he goes on about how the company's owned by the staff (lots that could be said on this topic, IMO).

He doesn't come on to sell jewellery now - he only comes on to shift his health stuff.
Also, after his announcement that he was coming back to run the company two years ago - but then quickly handed over the reigns to Jake Thompson instead, speaks volumes in my opinion.
His interest lies in health now.
Steve has form for starting businesses and then moving on to something new. I suspect one day he'll also move on from fitness too to start something entirely different again.

I remember him saying as much when he came back to pour money into the company. Someone messaged in saying how wonderful it was to see him on air again and what shows would he be doing. He closed the conversation down really quickly by saying that he had a lot to do as he was trying to save the NHS’. I wonder how that is going…..
This saves me posting this somewhere else. I'm not the quickest thinker, but on his recent show: fibre and such, he stated that the human body can only cope with 1 tea spoon of sugar a day: paraphrase and from memory. I finally got to checking. And the higher powers suggest it's between 7 and 9 tea spoons a day for an adult.
Personal health and, as TMWNN said on the thread about Steve Bennett's association with Gemma Collins, what you "put into your gob" is really one of the most basic aspects of life that is totally in your control. No different to getting up in the morning and deciding not to deliberately walk in front of a bus today. How much refined, added sugar you consume is 100% down to you, every time you have a sip of coke, lemonade or sneak in that extra custard cream. NDon't get me wrong - I'm not one of those fascistic diet "guru" Roundheads. Life is about balance and for living but you do control everything about that balance.
I'd be happy to accept that Bennett starts from a "good place" when he talks about the cr*p and the UPFs, which fill the shelves of our supermarkets, masquerading as "food" and that, sadly, can appear cheaper than buying whole foods and cooking at home. But he is not a lone voice in the wilderness on this subject and I do find that I lose my goodwill for him every time he appears on Gemporia to flog manufactured products to "fix the NHS" (not to mention his LED 'Friday the 13th' stage prop). He just becomes part of the deadly embrace between Big Food and Big Pharma (to use an American expression).
I ought to buy and read his "Fibre First" book. I suspect it's mostly common sense but the answer is not to buy his heavily packaged awful konjac noodles and more pills than you can shake a stick at, where the jury has been out for the last seventy years on whether they actually have any positive effect that is greater than taking personal control of your own diet.
