Ben Shephard is busy "laying groundwork and building foundations" ahead of his milestone 50th birthday in December as he pledges to get fit at 50 in a new challenge.
The This Morning presenter, who left Good Morning Britain earlier this year to step into Phillip Schofield's former shoes, has already embarked on a series of health and fitness challenges.
This year has been one of major changes for the TV presenter. Ben is not only approaching his fifth decade and adjusting to his major career change, but he also had to say goodbye to his eldest son, Sam, 19, who left home for university last month.

"Spinning through some pics - it’s been quite the week which was all about laying groundwork and building foundations as we get stuck into fit at 50," wrote the TV star.
"Some @foundaryfit beasting time spent with the boys playing golf (Jack my son is a proper bandit)" penned Ben, sharing a video of his youngest son striking a golf ball.
Just before the clip ends, Ben's eldest son Sam appears in the video beside his brother.
