The countdown is on for this year’s all-new Good Spa Guide Awards, and we are delighted to reveal the host for 2026 is presenter, podcaster, author, marathon runner and all-round nicest man on telly, Ben Shephard
Ben is best known as one of the much-loved faces of ITV’s This Morning, which he has fronted alongside Cat Deeley since 2024. Before that, he spent ten years waking the nation up on Good Morning Britain, and he has been dropping counters on Tipping Point since 2012.
Even more excitingly for the wellness devotees at GSG HQ, Ben is something of a kindred spirit. He co-hosts Men’s Health’s Built For Life podcast, all about training, practical science and mental fitness. A night with the spa industry should feel like home turf.
Ben is already in the spirit: “Looking after myself, physically and mentally, has become a big part of my life since turning 50, and spas do brilliant work on both. This is a great opportunity to celebrate the people who help us all slow down. I can’t wait to cheer on the finalists in November”
The Good Spa Guide Awards 2026 take place on Monday 16 November at Sopwell House, St Albans.
