THIS MORNING PRESENTER BEN SHEPHARD MADE A SURPRISING ADMISSION ON ITV'S LORRAINE ABOUT HIS HEALTH KELLY SMITH Screen Time Reporter 11:47, 20 May 2025 This Morning's Ben Shephard

made a surprise visit to ITV's Lorraine, where he shared an update on his health following his recent shirtless reveal for Men's Health magazine. Lorraine Kelly was joined by two

experts and the Tipping Point presenter to chat about Ben's decision to participate in the revealing photoshoot. Ben divulged that he had celebrated his 50th birthday in December 2024

and, to mark the occasion, he bravely agreed to pose topless for the magazine's cover, earning high praise from Lorraine. The TV favourite couldn't help but show his embarrassment

as he sat with the Scottish presenter, who showcased the cover across screens for all to see. The conversation then turned to what it meant for Ben to grace the cover of Men's Health

for a second time in his career, reports the Manchester Evening News. Article continues below "You look fantastic but I know you work so hard to maintain your health and fitness,"

Lorraine effused, while Ben admitted that although he's in great shape, hitting middle age has made him realise the need to put in extra effort. On the topic of his current well-being,

Ben remarked: "I'm very grateful to still be able to still be able to be fit and health and I know I've got various issues and my body's not quite what it used to

be." However, he stopped short of detailing the specific issues he's dealing with. Ben isn't alone in facing the camera after turning fifty; Davina McCall, at 57, also

flaunted her impressive physique in a white leotard on the front of Women's Health. Davina, who has just recovered from risky brain surgery after she opted to remove a benign tumour,

appeared to be in good health as she was seen beaming on the front cover. Article continues below Ben couldn't help but commend Davina's photoshoot, noting: "The lovely thing

about Davina's pictures is she just looks so happy and thrilled but it's really hard to tense that hard and smile." He continued, chuckling: "That crop just looks so

serious," while Lorraine chimed in with: "I think you look sultry." LORRAINE AIRS WEEKDAYS ON ITV1, FROM 9AM.
