This Morning's Ben Shephard red-faced as he's forced to apologise after blunder
This Morning host Ben Shephard was left red-faced during Wednesday's show, as they quickly ended an interview with GK Barry.
ITV presenter Ben Shephard found himself in an awkward spot during Wednesday's episode of This Morning.
While discussing GK Barry's upcoming Jungle Fever tour alongside co-host Cat Deeley, Ben struggled to keep his composure after a crude remark.
As the interview drew to a close, Ben wished GK good luck on her tour.
He said: "Good luck with the tour it'll be great fun! any bushes on the tour?"
GK responded with "Just me," prompting Ben to quip: "Just you? Big bush." The conversation quickly descended into chaos, with all parties bursting into laughter.
In an attempt to regain composure, Ben hastily cut to the competition segment, saying "Here's the competition! Take it away!"
Earlier, GK discussed what audiences can expect from her new tour, which draws inspiration from her time on I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here! in 2024.
The 25-year-old explained that her audience demographic has shifted since her appearance on the show, prompting her to adapt the tour to cater to her new fanbase, reports Wales Online.
She told Ben and Cat: "I've got a bit of an older audience now since I'm A Celeb, so I thought this next tour, I'm going to incorporate it for the mums, the girls, the gays, the occasional boyfriend that's brought along.
"I just want it to be a hen do, gone mad, bush tucker trails, loads of audience participation, celeb guests. I want it to be the best night of people's lives, minus their wedding day."
Intrigued, Ben asked whether she intended to include audience-participation food challenges, but Grace revealed she was leaning towards a more adult-oriented approach, centred around drinking games.
She elaborated: "I don't really know where I'd get testicles from! I think maybe I'll just make it an alcohol vibe, but I think it should be so much fun. I've been on a few (tours) but this one is bigger and better."
Since her appearance on I'm a Celebrity, Grace has become an ITV regular and made history as the youngest panellist on Loose Women.
This year, the 25-year-old will star in an entirely new series, Celebrity Sabotage.
According to the ITV synopsis, it reads: "Each week, our gang of celebrity saboteurs will be joined by a NEW guest saboteur, including Jill Scott MBE, Fay Ripley, Olivia Attwood, Jo Brand, Guz Khan and Harry Redknapp. Who will join in on all the action and cause even more mischief and mayhem?
"The show's format will see a new group of unsuspecting contestants arrive each episode, under the impression they're participating in a genuine ITV programme. Challenges will range from cooking and relationship tests to business tasks and even murder mystery games – all entirely fabricated, unbeknownst to the contestants.
"To make it even more convincing, these fake shows will have believable hosts, including familiar faces such as Clare Balding, Matt and Emma Willis, Monica Galetti, Jason Fox, Sara Davies and Rylan Clark. Everyone involved, from the celebrity saboteurs and the crew to the famous hosts, is in on the secret."

According to Super TV, the battle rounds will be making a welcomed comeback. In recent years, the format of the UK version of the singing contest has seen the coaches decide who they want to take through to the final after all of the auditions have aired. The reintroduction of the battle rounds will mean all the singers have to go head-to-head to continue in the competition. Previously disgruntled fans will be delighted with the news, as it means the strongest singer should win the show. The last time the battle rounds featured on The Voice UK was in 2021. The segment was ditched for the 2022 series of the show - and even judge Sir Tom Jones was not happy. Speaking at the 2024 launch, the 84-year-old Welsh star told Virgin Radio that not having the battle rounds made the coaches' job much harder. He said: "[Before] they'd have to battle it out, so then the strongest one would win. "But the battles are not there any more, so now the callbacks come very quickly, and you don't really get a chance to work with the [singers] as much as we used to. The Voice 2025 series delayed until next year after signing up new US superstar judge 'I wish – not to go against the producers – but I think it could be longer, the singers could have more time with us."

ITV's signing of the Grammy-winning Destiny's Child singer, 44, was announced just before filming for the 2026 series gets underway this summer. Kelly, who previously judged on The X Factor UK in 2011 and coached on The Voice Australia, said she is 'excited' to be joining the panel. LeAnn, 42, left the show earlier this year to refocus on her US career and is set to appear as a mentor on the American version of the format alongside Sheryl Crow. Kelly said: 'I am excited to join The Voice UK as a coach, and am looking forward to working with the excellent and passionate coaches the show is known for. "I can't wait to hear all the new talent and to go to battle for my team. Let's go!'

Maya Jama turns heads in a white string bikini as she shares a behind-the-scenes glimpse at her time in Mallorca for Love Island filming
Maya Jama turned heads as she shared a behind-the-scenes glimpse at her time in Mallorca while filming for Love Island. The ITV star, 30, splits her time between the London and the Spanish island while hosting the series. Taking to her Instagram Stories on Wednesday, Maya wowed in a tiny white string bikini as she posed for a sizzling selfie. She then shared a snap of a dreamy table on a balcony that overlook the stunning views of the Spanish landscape. This was followed by another photo of some delicious sushi and wine with the ITV crew. This year, the TV show host is drawing on a wardrobe of vintage pieces pulled from clothes designer archives. So far, Maya has worn a vintage Versace swimsuit and a 1998 Dolce & Gabbana dress. It comes after Maya's rumoured romance with Ruben Dias was finally confirmed, following the pair's public display of affection at KSI's Baller League event in April. The presenter and the footballer, 28, are thought to have been secretly dating for several months after Maya first caught his eye when they met at the European Music Awards (EMAs) in November. She has since been seen at multiple football games over the last few months, watching Dias live in action for Man City. In April, the pair were pictured for the first time together kissing and cuddling at the football event, held at the Copper Box Arena, in a video captured by The Sun. The footage showed them with their arms around each other before he leant into her neck for a peck, with Ruben flying under the radar in casual clothes and a cap. A source told the publication of that night: 'Maya and Ruben seemed very close, very loved up and were clearly very comfortable with each other. 'They were chatting to others around them but gravitated back to each other. They seem very happy with each other.' So far, Maya has worn a vintage Versace swimsuit and a 1998 Dolce & Gabbana dress (pictured in Dolce & Gabbana) It comes after Maya's rumoured romance with Ruben Dias was finally confirmed, following the pair's public display of affection at KSI's Baller League event in April (Ruben pictured in April) It is the first time they have been seen in public since they were thought to have started dating - though Maya has often hinted at the romance by sharing snaps of flowers she has been sent. MailOnline has contacted Maya's representatives for comment. Their appearance at the Baller League came just one day after she supported Ruben at Wembley as his team Manchester City triumphed 2-0 against Nottingham Forest in the FA Cup. The Love Island host took her whole family to Wembley to support him. She shared a video on the way to the stadium as she penned 'family day out to Wembley' in the caption - while her mother Sadie and brother Omar sat in the car with her. Maya then shared a snap of the pitch as she watched on - while her family enjoyed the atmosphere.
