Ben Shephard shares rare snap with wife as he celebrates his birthday – but fans are stunned after spotting ‘age’
BEN Shephard celebrated his birthday with his beautiful wife Annie - but fans were stunned by his age.
The Good Morning Britain presenter joked that his family was not "letting him age quietly" with his selection of birthday cards.
He had cards with 60 and 50 on the front of them - which he was not impressed by.
Ben posed with Annie in a stunning countryside location, both of them wrapped up in their winter warmers.
"Feeling very spoiled having had a lovely birthday with the family and from all your messages! Thank you!! No idea where the time has gone or is going, but as you can see from the cards the family certainly aren’t letting me age quietly!!" he wrote on Instagram.
"The fact that Annie nicked Clint Eastwoods poncho made it even better. by the way don’t be confused by my cards - I’m not 50 or 60 that’s my boys winding me up! I’m still clinging onto my 49th year!!!" he added.

He recently gave fans a glimpse into his London home as he and the family decorated for Christmas.
Ben captured a fir tree positioned in a wicker basket in front of a nude curtain.
A team of helpers - including Annie and their children Sam and Jack - were seen scooting around as they helped get the tree looking sparkling.
Two baubles bearing the initials of his kids were placed on the tree itself while wicker hampers from posh shop Fortnum and Mason were nestled underneath.
A slew of sparkling lights were added around the array of red, silver and white frosted accessories.
It was then captured in full glory with the lights turned off.
In his caption, Ben wrote: "Ahhhh #TeamShep have put the tree up - actually @annieshepharddesign along with extended family did the heavy lifting.
"I obviously wasn’t allowed to get near it, other than lights and booze for all the decorators.
"Needless to say I completed my part of the job with trade mark commitment which explains why the tree is 'on the wonk' and there’s lights all over it!"
The TV star and wife Annie got married in 2004.
The doting dad often posts heartwarming snaps with his kids, revealing their incredible home and outdoor space.
Ben's den has an open plan feel with plenty of cosy features contrasted against blue and white walls, brocade wall paper and patterned cushions.
His living room boasts a tiled floor, a fire place with exposed brick, bright upholstered furniture and an oak topped dining table.

One impressive feature is the family's fire pit that sits on his patio and is constructed from a huge bronze dome.
As well as GMB, Ben is most known for his shows Tipping Point and Ninja Warrior UK.
