Shephard's New 'Troubling' Tactic Stirs Celeb Nerves
25 Mar
Summary
- Ben Shephard has adopted a harder questioning style on This Morning.
- Celebrity publicists are nervous about guests appearing on the show.
- Stacey Solomon recently addressed rumors about her marriage on the show.
Ben Shephard, co-host of This Morning since 2024, has reportedly adopted a 'troubling' new interview tactic. Sources suggest that over the past six months, his questioning has taken a significantly harder line, departing from the show's usual focus on work-related topics.
This change has caused nervousness among publicists, who previously relied on agreements to keep interviews focused on professional matters. The introduction of controversial or newsy questions by Shephard has made them apprehensive about booking their clients for appearances.
During a recent segment, Stacey Solomon addressed rumors about her marriage to Joe Swash when Shephard questioned her about not wearing her ring. This instance exemplifies the more probing style that has become a point of concern.
In another emotional moment this month, Shephard became visibly moved while discussing Fearne Cotton's new book about people-pleasing, finding parts of it difficult to read due to their friendship.
