Watch Martin Lewis jokes about Ben Shephard's 'pert buttocks' on final GMB episode

What did you miss?

Martin Lewis had a hilarious tribute to Ben Shephard's perk buttocks and rippling shoulder muscles on his last day on Good Morning Britain.

For his Good Morning Britain appearance, the money expert prepared a funny anecdote about his friend who he plays golf with away from the screen as Shephard prepares to make the move to This Morning where he will present alongside Cat Deeley.

The financial guru had Shephard and his fellow presenter Kate Garraway erupting into giggles as Lewis hilariously quipped he didn't know whether he should be intimidated by Shephard's looks while playing golf or whether he should feel "amorous".

What, how and why?

Lewis said: "Just a bit of insight of Ben for everyone. Ben and I play golf together. I go there scruffy and bent back and try and hit hard. But when you play golf with Ben, first of all he wears quite tight tops and he stands on the golf tee and he has this concave bent back with these rippling shoulder muscles that sort of sit there.

"His buttocks, his perked buttocks out as he swings on the club. I'm never quite sure when we're playing golf and I'm watching him whether I'm supposed to be intimidated or amorous in the way that he stands there. He's like a Greek God!

"He doesn't hit the ball that well but it's this thing of beauty! I just want everyone to have that picture of Ben in their mind before he goes."

Breakfast TV presenters Shephard and Garraway were unable to hold back their laughter in the Good Morning Britain studio as Lewis told viewers at home about their golfing outings.

The new This Morning host then shared everything about being at golf is perfect until he hits the ball. "Everything up until I hit the ball is perfect, until it dribbles on the floor and it all falls apart," he agreed.

What else happened on Good Morning Britain?

It was Shephard's last day on Good Morning Britain before he starts his new gig on This Morning in March. Lewis joined many of ITV's stars paying tribute to Shephard, including Lorraine Kelly, Charlotte Hawkins, Susanna Reid and more.

At the end of the episode, the daytime TV presenter had his chance to share his thanks to everyone. Shephard praised his colleagues for being "gorgeous" as well as teasing them saying they were "annoying" and "chaotic" during his final sign off from the show.

He said: "What I have known is soon as I'm going to be surrounded by you, gorgeous, challenging, chaotic, annoying people who make me better at what I do. It is not lost on me I wouldn't be able to do it without you... Thank you... I'll see you in a couple of weeks."
