Ben, 49, is currently taking a break from This morning and Tipping Point
ITV presenter Ben Shephard has received rafts of support from fans as he shared a health update on Instagram on Monday evening. The 49-year-old, known for fronting This Morning and Tipping Point, recently told fans he would be challenging himself ahead of his upcoming 50th birthday.
Ben is currently taking a break from This Morning, as he's in New Zealand, having signed up to host a brutal new reality competition for ITV called The Summit. The show, already big in Australia, challenges contestants with a trek to the top of one of the world's biggest mountains, for a chance to win their share of a huge cash prize.
He said: "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.
