Ben explained as his family photo was displayed on the screen: "Sam came home from travelling, which was very, very emotional. That was the first day he was back, and we went for a walk through the park, and then we went to the pub... every now and again I walk past and [my wife] is just gazing at him."

Ben's son Sam, 18, has been travelling for seven months before heading to university next week.

Ben also shares another son, Jack, 16, with his wife Annie.

The couple have been married for 20 years after meeting while studying at the University of Birmingham.

This Morning airs on ITV on weekdays at 10am. Ben and Cat host the program Monday to Thursday, while Alison Hammond and Dermot O'Leary take the reigns on Fridays.
