Ben Shephard was so close to watching West Ham lift the Europa Conference League trophy with his own eyes - unfortunately though his plane to Prague was delayed, Poor Ben 😢
'Suddenly we were looking at flights from heathrow, but the seats went reall quickly. Then it was a dash to Luton for a WizzAir flight from Luton.'
Unfortunately, it proved difficult to 'check off' the plane after checking in, withBen joking: 'You think it's hard getting into an airport, getting out of an airport when you're really up against it time-wise, is a nightmare.' Susanna had pushed for Ben to go on behalf of GMB - but still poked fun at him when he missed the flight, because that's what friends are for
And despite help from a staff member to get back through passport control and security, 'it was too late by then.' He ended up watching it at home with his children, joking that even his wife kept an eye on the match, and shared a sweet video of the family celebrating Said Benrahma's penalty.So, all's well that ends well - especially considering Ben was working on GMB at the crack of dawn, which would have been slightly harder to do had he been in Prague.
