This Morning's Ben Shephard left red-faced after 72-year-old escort makes racy confession on air


Ben Shephard was taken aback when a guest on This Morning shared some rather risque details live on-air. He and co-host Cat Deeley were chatting with Caroline, a 72-year-old escort, during the Tuesday (4 February) episode of the popular ITV program.me

Caroline, who once followed a Christian path and entered her 70s before choosing to engage in sex work, has also featured on Olivia Attwood's Getting Filthy Rich. She openly discussed her journey into escorting and was candid about her experiences with clients.

She recounted a particular rendezvous that concluded at a hotel, where she performed a sexual act for the first time. The recipient complimented her skills, prompting her to say: "I wasn't quite sure what to expect really," reports Wales Online.

Her frank admission caused Ben to blush, and he managed a terse "Right! " as he and Cat quickly tried to redirect the conversation to more family-friendly subjects.

Previously a florist, Caroline divulged that she now makes thousands each month under her alter ego, Busty Granny. After leading a "nice little Christian life," she began to question her faith during difficult personal times, which eventually led her to a new lifestyle.

Her foray into this line of work began when she was 57, after a flirtatious exchange with a 27-year-old rugby player.

Caroline discovered she could earn money as an escort and was inspired by a documentary featuring an 82-year-old in the same profession. This led her to become a professional escort herself.

With no children or grandchildren, Caroline earns about £3,000 a month from her work, which has allowed her to pay off her mortgage. She confesses that she's "loving life" thanks to her new line of work.

However, her choice of career hasn't gone down well with her siblings, who "aren't too impressed" and have shunned meeting her due to the media portrayal of her job.

The segment on This Morning where Caroline discussed her experiences received mixed reactions from viewers, with some questioning the appropriateness of such a candid interview for morning television.

This Morning airs on weekdays at 10am on ITV1 and ITVX
