This Morning presenter Ben Shephard candidly shared his personal experience with the challenges of an empty nest as he empathized with a viewer grappling with loneliness after her children moved out.
Ben Shephard , a beloved presenter on This Morning, opened up about his personal struggles with loneliness after his son, Sam, started university. During a Wednesday episode (February 5) dedicated to exploring the science behind morning happiness, Shephard connected with a viewer named Nicole who shared her feelings of emptiness after her children left home. Shephard empathized with Nicole, revealing that his own household was experiencing similar challenges.
He explained that his wife, Annie, and he had been adjusting to the silence and newfound space in their home since Sam began university. To cope with the change, Shephard suggested making a conscious effort to do something together as a couple, like going for a walk, having a meal, or simply enjoying a quiet evening. He also admitted that while he appreciated the peaceful atmosphere, he missed the presence of his sons, Sam and Jack, who are now both entering their 20s. Shephard's candidness resonated with viewers and co-host Cat Deeley, who acknowledged the melancholic feeling that can accompany an empty nest. Shephard's advice offered Nicole, and perhaps many others, a sense of comfort and validation in their own experiences. This Morning, which airs weekdays on ITV1 from 10am, often tackles relatable topics, reminding viewers that even celebrities grapple with everyday challenges
