Nick Ferrari threw Ben Shephard off and the presenter had no other choice but to urge him to calm down.
The radio host, 65, was back on This Morning, live from the LBC studios, as he took part in a conversation with Cat Deeley, Ben Shephard and Sonia Sodha this Thursday, June 6, about the time children and teens spent on their phones.
“It’s because you keep taking all these selfies, Nick, that’s the problem”, Ben initially said, teasing his guest. This prompted the presenter to refer to his sons Sebastian and Nicolo as he responded with a hint of self-deprecation: “What distresses my sons is when i insist on taking my shirt off to do my ripped physique at the dinner table.”

The quip was enough to leave everybody in the This Morning studio in stitches but while Cat and Sonia hinted they wanted to move on, Ben added fuel to the fire.
“We’re going to take a short break”, he first announced, adding: “but today’s the day that people start their beach-body-ready diets so maybe Nick is in full prep!”
Not one to shy away from another opportunity to trigger laughter in the program, Nick gestured towards his shirt collar before fiddling with the buttons on the garment: “you want me to take my shirt off now?”, he joked, to which Ben cheekily responded: “Not just yet.”
Nick recently triggered a wave of backlash after an on-air rant about nut allergies last week, which prompted Dermot O’Leary to apologise for his behaviour. Sadly, this wasn’t enough – This Morning has been hit with 637 Ofcom complaints due to the segment.
At the time, Nick discussed the launch of the world’s first dog-friendly airline with the This Morning, as he lifted the lid on what his “ideal” airline should take into account.
“I’d love to run an airline. I don’t know about you, but here are some of the restrictions; no babies or children who cry, nobody who tries to recline their seat, nobody who doesn’t fancy a drink mid air”, he said.
“No men wearing flip-flops – if they haven’t got socks, they’re not allowed on. And probably nobody who hasn’t got a sense of humour or is wearing a funny hat.”
He then added: “Oh, and if you don’t like peanuts, don’t get on the plane either because I do and I can’t eat them because someone at the back of the plane is going to drop dead or something if I have a peanut. I don’t quite know why. But there’s my airline.” And the storm was triggered as a multitude of viewers swarmed over to X to complain.
