Ben Shephard left red-faced after getting distracted by racy Susan Sarandon snap
IT LOOKED like Ben Shephard got distracted from his presenting duties on Good Morning Britain today after seeing a rather revealing photograph of Hollywood star Susan Sarandon.

During an entertainment segment on the 69th Cannes Film Festival with Entertainment Editor Richard Arnold, the unfortunate shot from above showed off the 69-year-old's cleavage and caught the attention of Ben, 41.
“I am slightly distracted by the view,” Ben quipped as the programme cut back to the studio.
“Those shots from above?” asked co-star Kate Garraway.
“Yeah, those high shots, very… distracting,” he replied, causing her to burst into a fit of giggles.

In case viewers missed the image, it flashed up on the screen again and caused Ben to protest: “No! Don’t watch it again!”
Kate, 49, told him: “You nearly got away with that!”
Richard, 46, could only laugh as he stood on a small boat in the middle of the French Riviera: “You’re looking at my buoys, aren'y you!” Kate couldn’t stop chuckling at the moment.

Susan is known to wear striking outfits and has never been afraid to flash the flesh. Along with her daring dress on the red carpet, she made another statement again at the Cannes Festival this year when she donned a tuxedo and flats.
The Oscar winner got political when she made a savvy sartorial choice, opting for a pair of chic pointed-toe shoes with no heels.
She posted an image on Twitter of an emoji of a red stiletto shoe with two exclusion signs on either side of it.
Her protest comes a year after several female stars were reportedly turned away from film screenings because they had not worn the teetering shoes.
Julia Roberts was also seen walking barefoot across the red carpet, which appeared to support the no-stiletto protest.
Incidentally, the anti-heel protest comes not long after a receptionist was sent home for wearing flats instead of heels for a temp job for a city firm.
Good Morning Britain is on ITV on weekdays at 6am.
