THIS Morning star Ben Shephard showed off his ripped six pack as he braved the cold for a Christmas Day dip.
The TV presenter, 50, was seen wearing a pair of navy blue swimming shorts as he joined hundreds of other divers in Port Isaac, Cornwall.
Despite temperatures of just 11 degrees, the star was seen jumping in for an icy swim on Wednesday morning.
The Tipping Point star put his toned physique of display as he went topless.
Ben was seen waist deep in the water as he gave a big thumbs up.
After completing the annual challenge, Ben was seen grimacing back on dry land as he reached for a towel to dry off.
The star was also seen having a drink in a small shot glass, before he returned home to celebrate the day with his family.
It comes after Ben shocked fans as he shared a rare video working out with his strapping 19-year-old son Sam.
The presenter tends to keep his children and wife Annie out of the limelight but posted the sweet video to social media.
But Ben could be seen hitting the gym with his teenage son Sam, 19, as they did pull ups.
Ben also has another teenage son called Jack with his wife Annie.
Last month, Ben and co-host Cat Deeley‘s futures on ITV’s This Morning were revealed following show boss Martin Frizell’s decision to quit.
The presenting duo, who have only been at the helm of the daytime show for eight months, will keep their roles amid the behind the scenes shake-up.
However, The Sun revealed exclusively how new faces are likely to join the show in some capacity as the new boss plans a huge shake-up.
And we also revealed that the favourites to return in regular slots are Amanda Holden, Rylan Clark and Ruth Langsford.
ITV chief Kevin Lygo is said to be particularly fond of Cat’s on-screen abilities.
A source told the Mail: “‘Kevin was very much behind hiring Cat, along with Martin, they pulled out the stops to get her and there were lots of obstacles.
“She is loved at ITV and they don’t want her to go anywhere. As for Ben, he is loved by ITV’s viewers. Martin has known that he would be going for some time now, even when he hired Cat and Ben.”
Cat turned down a lucrative contract hosting So You Think You Can Dance in the States to present the British lifestyle show.
She is reportedly making £550,000 a year, in contrast to predecessors Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield‘s £700,000 salaries.
While Cat and Ben’s roles are safe, a number of new faces will be brought in to freshen up the show.
A source told us: “The hope is that a few tweaks here and there can make a huge difference – with presenters added to the roster, and a few exciting new features.
“Martin was mercurial and merciless when he was angry, and a few people were pretty scared of him.
“Martin was old school, but he was also hugely talented, hands-on, hard-working, and dedicated to the running of that ship.
“His strengths, however, were that he was a total maverick and absolutely fearless.”
