Privacy NoticeBen Shephard looked beyond proud as he happily posed next to his rarely-seen dad for a recent Instagram photo to document their day out at Wimbledon last week. The 49-year-old presenter hosts This Morning alongside co-star Cat Deeley from Monday to Thursday with Alison Hammond and Dermot O’Leary replacing the main show presenters on Fridays. Last week, Ben announced he would be taking a break for summer which comes just after he used one of his days off to enjoy a trip to Wimbledon with his dapper dad by his side – and the resemblance between the father-and-son duo is uncanny.

Presenter Ben was accompanied by his dad, who recently turned 80 back in March, to the iconic tennis competition and both men were suited and booted for the occasion. Ben opted for dark trousers, a crisp white shirt, a light blue tie and a grey blazer while his silver fox dad wore a striped shirt with a matching striped tie, black blazer and blue trousers. Ben proudly shared the snap with his 583,000 followers on Instagram alongside a heartfelt caption. He wrote: “Had the most brilliant day at Wimbledon with the old man. Tennis was great, Pimms delicious, memories priceless, not sure it gets better than that,” followed by a red love heart emoji.

It led co-presenter Cat, 47, to rush to the comment section to make a cheeky swipe. She replied, writing: “It doesn’t ….. apart from bathroom visits and yoga classes. That’s the good stuff xxxxx” Other ITV stars also complimented Ben and his dad on the post, with Andrea McLean adding: “How lovely” and Laura Tobin sharing: “This makes me smile.” GMB star Kate Garraway also commented a tongue-in-cheek response as she joked: “Very handsome boy! And you scrub up ok too.” Ben’s fun day out at Wimbledon with his dad comes just after he and Cat announced they would be taking a break from This Morning after joining as the show’s new permanent hosts, telling viewers: “Thanks for having us.”

The pair, who were only appointed to the job in March, will now be off screens until September with a range of fill-in presenters including show favourite Craig Doyle taking their places on the series. Alison and Dermot will begin the special summer shows from Monday July 15, with a mixture of tried-and-tested presenters taking their place. They include Josie Gibson, Craig Doyle, Rylan Clark, Rochelle Humes and Joel Dommett. Plus, Sian Welby will also return to This Morning after giving birth to daughter Ruby.
