December 26th 2024.
This morning, the charming host of the popular show This Morning, Ben Shephard, delighted fans with a glimpse of his impressive six-pack abs. The 50-year-old presenter took on a daring challenge on Christmas day, braving the chilly temperatures for a dip in the icy waters at Port Isaac, Cornwall. Donning a pair of navy blue swimming trunks, Ben was joined by a crowd of brave souls as they took the plunge into the sea.
Despite the freezing weather, Ben remained in high spirits, flashing a bright thumbs up to the onlookers. As temperatures dropped to a bone-chilling 10 degrees, the daring winter divers emerged from the water and Ben was spotted toweling off his defined abs. The Tipping Point host from Epping, who is known for his love of fitness, was also seen taking a shot of something before heading home to spend the rest of the holiday with his beloved family. This includes his wife Annie and their two sons, Sam and Jack, who are 18 and 17 years old respectively.
Ben's toned physique is a result of his dedication to his fitness journey, which he openly shared with his 596k followers on Instagram. In fact, his bio proudly states, "Family and Fitness". In October, Ben announced that he was challenging himself to be in the best shape of his life by the time he turned 50 in December. He also shared that his focus was not just on physical health, but also on mental and emotional well-being.
The TV star regularly posted photos and videos of his workouts in the gym, leading up to his final and toughest challenge - 50 pull-ups, given to him by his son Sam. It was no easy feat, but with determination and a lot of grunting, huffing, and puffing, Ben conquered the challenge. He shared a video of his accomplishment, writing, "It took a few sets, but we got there in the end!"
Despite feeling "old" on his 50th birthday, Ben was in his usual spot on the This Morning sofa, celebrating the special day with his co-hosts. Fans flooded social media with compliments, stating that he has aged like fine wine and calling him a "silver fox". And now, with his recent display of ripped abs, there is no doubt that Ben is indeed deserving of all the glowing compliments.
It's no surprise that Ben chose Cornwall for his icy dip, as he has always been vocal about his love for the picturesque location. He even has relatives there, including his Auntie Jan, who he fondly remembers spending Christmas days with. In a heartwarming surprise, Ben's former co-star Kate Garraway arranged for Auntie Jan to make an appearance on the show when he bid farewell to Good Morning Britain.
During the show, Auntie Jan reminisced about Ben's childhood in Cornwall, sharing fond memories of him as a sweet and active little boy. She even recalled him walking all the way back from Port Quin, a cove near Port Isaac, at the young age of two and a half. The show also featured a performance from one of Ben's favorite bands, Fisherman's Friends, with whom he has spent many Christmas days singing alongside.
