GMB's Ben Shephard, 48, laments 'bits of me are falling off' amid fear he'll never recover
Good Morning Britain anchor Ben Shephard is no stranger to intense training, having presented tough obstacle course-based ITV show Ninja Warrior - but he's admitted that time is taking its toll on his body.The 48-year-old insists that parts of him are "falling off" as he desperately attempts to regain his former fitness after a knee surgery back in 2021."As I'm getting older and bits of me are falling off and falling apart badly, I realised that trying to preserve my joints and my shoulders and my back is really huge," he grimaced.The sporty star, who is also famous for his appearances on Tipping Point, has always excelled physically in the past, having run a huge total of 14 marathons.However, a tense match in the Cup Final for his veteran team Arthur Dunn had left him crippled, with one of his legs becoming injured in three places."We won the Cup Final, but I started with two legs and ended with one," he explained at the time to GMB co-host Susanna Reid, after being forced to limp around with a leg brace.The star has since admitted on a recent episode of the That Gaby Roslin podcast that he fears he will never reach 100 per cent fitness again.He added: "Because your body's been through so much physical trauma, learning to do something again [is a struggle]."Even when I first had my knee op done, even learning to put full weight on it or to jump off a small step, it's remarkable what the brain does."Explaining his postoperative nerves, he mused: "You're reticent to let yourself go for things", while Gaby chimed in that his fear was his mind's way of getting "protection".Ben also lamented that as he advances in age, he has "things to worry about, like kids".He shares two teenage sons, Jack and Sam, with his wife Annie

Strictly Come Dancing ace Dianne Buswell raised eyebrows when she flew to the other side of the world at Christmas to be with family in Australia - and beau Joe Sugg wasn't with her.The 33-year-old's solo trip coincided with a period of almost three months when the pair weren't pictured together on social media - but she has now opened up on the matter, insisting they are still together.Dianne, who kicked off the much-awaited Strictly Live Tour last weekend in Birmingham, and will move to Nottingham for tomorrow's show, has cleared the air over the claims by explaining that Joe has been exceptionally "busy".Addressing her Christmas apart from Joe, she added that she tries "[not to] even worry about anything that's being said [on social media]"."It's very rare I get to see my family so I want to go and make the most of it and that's what I did," she clarified."[The speculation] comes from a good place, but I go home and see my family and don't even worry about [it]."She confirmed that Joe will be attending a few of the shows on the Strictly tour, which began last Friday in Birmingham and ends on February 12 in Glasgow.However, on many of the nights when she reunites with 2022 dance partner Tyler West to show off her moves, her boyfriend will be nowhere to be seen."He's really busy with work as well [but] whenever he can he'll come to watch," she reasoned.Joe, an accomplished dancer himself, originally met his partner when they danced together on the 2018 series of Strictly.The pair had been almost inseparable ever since - but their recent stint spent apart gave cause for concern.Dianne has had no regrets about being solo, posting on Instagram that she was "extremely grateful" to have spent Christmas with her family.On
