Ben Shephard, 45 will host a celebrity edition of Ninja Warrior UK alongside fellow hosts Rochelle Humes and Chris Kamara. Tonight’s episode will see if Olympic athlete Katharine Merry, as well as rapper Kenzie, have what it takes to complete the infamous obstacle course. But what is known on Ben Shephard’s family life?

How many children does Ben have?

Ben and wife Annie Perks have two children together.

Last year Ben announced he would be stepping down from presenting on Goals on Sunday so he could spend more time with his family.

Speaking to the Mirror, Ben spoke of how his sons Jack and Sam are at an age where they need him around.

“I often work six days a week, filming Tipping Point in Bristol from Monday to Wednesday.

“So Saturday is the only day I get to spend with the boys and because I’m tired it’s often a washout.

Ben went on to say how he has loved working on Goals on Sunday but wants to be more involved in his family life.

“Doing Goals on Sunday has been amazing, but I can see that not only will we all benefit as a family, but I’ll benefit too from being more involved in their weekend life.

“If there are things we can share, football, cricket, golf, these are days that I will be able to cherish for a long, long time.”

Ninja Warrior UK will continue tonight on ITV at 6.30pm.
