This Morning cuts to break after Ben Shephard's crude remark on-air
This Morning presenter Ben Shephard was left in hysterics on Wednesday as he quickly moved on from an interview after a cheeky innuendo. Ben Shephard, a familiar face on This Morning, encountered an amusingly awkward moment during Wednesday's edition. While chatting with GK Barry about her upcoming tour, co-hosts Ben and Cat Deeley presented the segment on ITV with much excitement. However, as they wrapped up the interview, the hosts experienced an unintended gaffe, prompting an abrupt transition to the next part of the show. Concluding the conversation, Ben quipped: "Good luck with the tour it'll be great fun! any bushes on the tour?" To which GK humorously retorted: "Just me," leading Ben to jest in return: "Just you? Big bush." The exchange left the studio bursting with laughter, with Ben attempting to regain his composure, reports Wales Online. He then quickly directed viewers' attention, saying: "Here's the competition! Take it away!" GK, whose real name is Grace Keeling, is well known for her participation in the 2024 series of I'm A Me Out of Here!, a defining experience she's drawn upon for her new Jungle Fever tour. Discussing audience expectations, the 25-year-old acknowledged a shift in her fanbase after her appearance on the reality show, which she's consciously catering to. Opening up to Ben and Cat, she expressed: "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." Curious about whether food challenges would be part of her audience's experience, Grace revealed she was inclined towards an alcohol-themed approach. 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." After her stint on I'm a Celeb, Grace has become a familiar face on ITV, rising to fame as the youngest ever panellist on Loose Women. This year, viewers will have the opportunity to see the 25-year-old TV personality take on an entirely new program titled Celebrity Sabotage. The overview for the highly anticipated ITV programme states: "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? "In each episode a fresh set of unsuspecting contestants will arrive, believing they're participating in a brand-new ITV show. These range from cooking challenges and relationship tests to business tasks and even murder mystery games. Little do they know that these shows are completely made up!". "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." This Morning is available to watch on ITVX.

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 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."
