This Morning host Ben Shephard is facing backlash after he praised Dubai in a new interview.
The 51-year-old TV presenter, who returned to the ITV daytime show today (February 23) with co-star Cat Deeley following their half-term break, has opened up about his holidays over the years.
This Morning host Ben Shephard ‘can see why people fall in love with Dubai’
While discussing family trips to Cornwall and Norfolk with The Times, Ben also revealed how he fell in love with Dubai.
“My older brother, Toby, is a doctor and lives in Singapore, but he used to live in Dubai, and I can see why people fall in love with Dubai because I did too,” he explained.
“The hotels are incredible. I love going somewhere where I can switch off and not worry about anything. The first time we visited Dubai will always be special to me and Annie because it was before our sons, Jack and Sam, were born,” Ben continued.
“We stayed at the Royal Mirage, which is a beautiful hotel. It rained every day while I was at work, hosting a conference for Sony Electronics, and Annie broke the world record for how many treatments a person can have in a day at the spa.”
‘Oh dear!’
Following the admission, Ben is facing heat for his comments on his Instagram page.
