This Morning's Ben Shephard red-faced as he's forced to apologise after blunder
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."

Princess Andre takes subtle double swipe at mum Katie Price with candid confession
Princess Andre has appeared to take subtle swipes at mum Katie Price after the former glamour model criticised producers of her new show, The Princess Diaries Princess Andre has appeared to take subtle swipes at mum Katie Price as she continues to carve her own showbiz career. In her new documentary series, The Princess Diaries, the teen is showcasing her blossoming career, but the show has opted against airing Katie's role in her daughter's life. Instead, dad Peter Andre is a mainstay in the production, showing his close bond with his eldest daughter. And in the latest edition, Princess, 18, has confessed to the things she will never do that her mum did. Speaking to the cameras for the ITV show, Princess admitted she would never do glamour modelling like her mum did. The revelation came as Princess took part in a photoshoot to mark her 18th birthday. As she wore a number of different outfits for the shoot, including a very sheer robe, Princess looked back at her mum's success in front of the camera. She said her shoot reminded her of her mum Katie, 47, and her campaigns over the years. However, she admitted: "But obviously she did topless. And I would not do topless." She later revealed how she goes to her stepmum for advice. Princess lives with her dad and Emily Andre and their kids and added: "I feel like, if I'm ever in a situation that I don't want to talk to dad about, I'll speak to Ems about it." It comes after Princess had revealed the impact her mum's split from Kieran Hayler had on her. Katie, 47, married Kieran, 38, in 2013 but they separated five years later after he cheated on her, including with one of her "best friends". After saying she didn't feel as though she recovered from the split, Kieran has since apologised. He said: "I am as sorry as I can be to Princess witnessing us go through such a horrible separation. "Leaving them was one of the hardest things I ever had to do." Despite the turmoil and apparent swipes, Princess did gush over her friendship with her mum. Addressing rumours of a rift, Princess told Closer 'there's no rift'. The teenager said: "At the end of the day, it's my show – it's not really about any of my parents. Mum was actually featured in it, it's just that I live with my dad. There's no rift between anyone." And on the show, she revealed: "I love her, she's like my best friend." Princess made her modelling debut last year with PrettyLittleThings. She has now moved into the reality TV spectrum in her own light and the influencer is set to make thousands and take after her famous parents by becoming a reality star.
