Award-winning morning TV host, Ben Shephard, has joined the world of This Morning, taking over the reins alongside Cat Deeley. The Essex-born star, born on December 11, 1974, has been a fixture in the TV industry since the late 1990s, hosting some of Britain’s most beloved shows, including Good Morning Britain.
Ben’s new role as co-host of This Morning comes after Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield’s departure from the ITV morning show in 2023. He expressed his excitement about the new opportunity, stating, “This really feels like a very special moment for Cat and I to be part of the next chapter of This Morning.”
In addition to his TV hosting duties, Ben is the face of the popular game show Tipping Point. His estimated net worth currently stands at around £4 million, with his new salary from This Morning expected to contribute to his bank balance significantly.
Ben’s journey to success began in 1998 when he landed a hosting role on Channel 4’s The Bigger Breakfast, working alongside Dermot O’Leary. He went on to host several shows for Channel 4 before joining GMTV, which ultimately led to his current role as a presenter on Good Morning Britain.
The seasoned TV host made a cameo appearance on the hit show Friends in 2002. During the segment on Good Morning Britain, it was revealed that Ben had a brief appearance in the episode “The One Where Rachel is Late,” where he was credited as “Man with Microphone.”
Despite his long list of achievements and diverse hosting roles, Ben still finds time to entertain football fans on Goals on Sunday. Additionally, he has featured on the radio, hosting slots on Magic Radio and Heat Radio.
As the anticipated changeover date in March 2024 draws near, viewers eagerly anticipate the debut of Ben Shephard and Cat Deeley as the new hosts of This Morning.
