Ben Shephard shared some snaps of his rarely-seen sons live on This Morning on Monday after his lavish family skiing holiday.

It comes after Alison Hammond, 50, and Dermot O’Leary, 51, stepped in to present the ITV show while the 50-year-old and Cat Deeley, 48, enjoyed some well-earned time off. 

On Monday the dynamic duo returned to the This Morning studio and told viewers what they had got up to last week. 

Ben, wife Annie and sons Sam, 19, and Jack, 18, posed for some pictures together while on the slopes. 

Sharing a clip on the programme, Ben told Cat: ‘My two ski now, this is me trying to film them. 

‘I am doing everything I possibly can to get anywhere near them. That’s Jack.’

Cat was very impressed with their skills and chimed in: ‘Someone was desperate for some milk tray! Weren’t they? 

‘Like desperate for some chocolate.’

Ben carried on saying: ‘Sam is just ahead of him. 

‘It is brilliant. It was such a lovely few days in the mountains. 

‘It’s nice to be warm! And Annie came as well.

‘Lots of people ask… Annie was there as well. 

‘She’s not as into the skiing as me and the boys are, but we had a really good laugh!’

Ben and wife Annie tied the knot in 2004. 

The pair started dating in the late nineties after meeting at university. 

On February 14 Ben announced he was having a break from This Morning in a temporary host shake-up. 

Writing on Instagram, he said: ‘Ahhh lovely end of the week for me and @catdeeley. Thanks for all your messages.

‘I hope everyone is ready for some hardcore Valentine’s/Palentine’s/Galentine’s (delete where appropriate) action!! 

‘We’ll be back in the studio after half term!!’

Ben and Cat joined the This Morning team in March last year. 

The pair took over from Holly Willoughby, 44, and Phillip Schofield, 62. 

They present the show every Monday to Thursday.  

Meanwhile Alison and Dermot joined the programme in 2020 and host every Friday. 

The two took over from Ruth Langsford, 64, and Eamonn Holmes, 65.  

This Morning airs weekdays from 10am on ITV1 and is available to stream on ITVX.
