That's why you never hear about him anymore, he hasn't got the ego for showbusiness. It's annoying though because he might be my favourite person alive, but the reason for that is because he's such an atypical media personality.

I'm not alone in saying how much I like RSK and still listen to them often. But recently I've found it harder to enjoy them because of Ricky. For the last two years I've seen Ricky slowly writing Steve out of his success. It started as mild suspicion and ended up with Ricky at the Oxford Union. He didn't mention Steve once, even after a question mentioned Steve.

[@randomrob3715]

How do you know it’s because of Ricky? Maybe Steve was getting more and more jealous of Ricky being the most famous or something similar? Or thinking he was the most talented and Ricky was stealing the lime light? You never know what happens when the cameras aren’t on. What I’ve always got from Steve is, he is a bit of a moaner and all talk. He moans at Karl for not having a go at certain things, or not being open minded, but you can tell Steve wouldn’t do half of the stuff Karl had to do on his travel show. Always got the impression Steve didn’t like Karl very much and was only there because of Ricky. We know Ricky has talent as he has done some great series without Steve. Shame those 3 aren’t all still together but people do change and move on to separate things.

That "Also a channel" from Steve is a very, very under-rated line.
