On March 17, 2026, Ben Shephard made a notable guest appearance on Good Morning Britain, a show he originally co-hosted when it launched in 2014. His return comes two years after he left the program in 2024 to co-present This Morning alongside Cat Deeley.
Shephard’s return to Good Morning Britain is significant as it coincides with the finale of his reality series, The Summit, which features contestants climbing an 8,000 ft mountain in New Zealand for a cash prize of £200,000. The finale is set to air on the same day at 9 PM on ITV and ITVX.
During his appearance, Shephard humorously addressed his former co-host Kate Garraway, saying, “Don’t you forget me, Garraway.” He also shared insights about his time on the show, mentioning, “I know where the autocue is, so I just tweaked that a touch.”
Shephard’s first appearance in the new central London studio of Good Morning Britain was in December 2025, marking a new chapter for the show. His return has been well-received by fans, who have expressed excitement over seeing him back on the morning program.
In addition to his television work, Shephard is currently promoting a tour with Chris Kamara titled “Ben and Kammy’s Unbelievable Show.” The two have a long history of collaboration, having previously worked together on Goals on Sunday and Ninja Warrior UK.
Chris Kamara, who has been open about his diagnosis of speech apraxia since 2022, joined Shephard in the promotional efforts, highlighting their strong friendship and professional bond.
As the finale of The Summit approaches, Shephard expressed his feelings about the experience, stating, “It’s just been the most fantastic adventure and journey.” He also noted that the finale would be “a very, very emotional” event for both the contestants and viewers.
With Shephard’s return to Good Morning Britain and the airing of The Summit finale, fans are eager to see how these developments unfold and what they mean for the future of the beloved presenter.
