Ben Shephard has been sharing updates with his fans as he embarks on a fitness journey ahead of his 50th birthday.
The ITV presenter, 49, who is known for his roles on This Morning and Tipping Point, recently revealed that he was embarking on a fitness challenge ahead of his 50th birthday.
The show, which is already a hit in Australia, sees contestants battling it out to reach the top of one of the world's highest mountains for a chance to win a share of a large cash prize. He shared: "Of all the things I'm regularly told by you guys in response to my challenge things like 'take time to rest', 'don't overdo it', 'you can slow down' and things along those lines. As a rule, it's just not like me, wanting to slow down, but being in New Zealand, having more time, surrounded by this incredible scenery has shifted my thoughts."
He continued: "I'm intrigued as to how that will feel when I'm back home with Christmas coming and life flying at us, but I'm going to try to hold onto what I've learnt - rest isn't wasted time, it's the foundation that everything else is built on. That feels quite profound - I'm def getting old!"
