Ben Shephard
Biography
Holder of a degree in Dance, Drama and Theatre Arts, Ben Shephard has progressed in a reasonably smooth manner from entertainment reporter through fanzine host to star of Saturday night telly. Well, "star" is maybe overstating it a bit. He was also the main male anchor of GMTV Today - and he definitely proved himself as the new host of The Krypton Factor, a role that many may previously have reckoned could only ever be filled by Gordon Burns.
Trivia
Shephard briefly held the world record for most pancake tosses in one minute - he set a mark of 108 on The Paul O'Grady Show on 23 February 2009, only for Aldo Zilli to make 117 flips on the following day's Blue Peter.
