How does Ben Shephard film Tipping Point and Good Morning Britain?

The presenter has a busy schedule filming both ITV shows, Tipping Point and Good Morning Britain.

In a post on Twitter earlier this year, he shocked fans with the revelation that he had 175 episodes of Tipping Point to record between April and July.

Many have been upset at his absence from Good Morning Britain, which he became a regular guest on after Piers Morgan’s dramatic exit from the show.

However, he took to social media to explain that his prior commitment to the gameshow meant he wasn’t available for the breakfast show.

During the short behind the scenes clip, he said: “This is episode 101, series 12 of Tipping Point.

He added: “There’s only 74 left, 101 down, 74 left. Is somebody going to get ten grand for our 101st show? Let’s hope so, what about 20? Let’s make it 20 grand.”

Some are disappointed that he hasn’t been on GMB more regularly, taking to Twitter to share their opinions on the line up.

One user, @Griff69, said: ‘@benshephard Hey fella, any chance you can do GMB full time, because quite frankly it ain’t worth watching unless you’re in the hot seat?! #justsaying#please’
