Ben Shephard is obsessed with hoovers

Ben Shephard has six vacuum cleaners.
The ‘Good Morning Britain’ presenter was discussing how much mess glitter can make during today’s show (17.11.17) alongside his co-host Kate Garraway and Sean Fletcher when he let slip that he has an obsession with the cleaning apparatus.
Kate said: "I’m assuming you don’t do the glitter in your house, it is devilish to get out."
Ben replied: "Me personally, no."
Sean the quipped: "Do you do anything in your household?"
To which the 42-year-old hunk explained: "I tend to avoid as much as I can but I do the tidying up. Endless vacuuming. It is spotless Sean, in ship shape."
Kate scoffed: "I don’t believe that for a second. You wouldn’t know where the vacuum cleaner was."
But Ben wasn’t impressed with her comment and went on to reveal how many hoovers her has because he likes to scatter then around the house so that he can grab them easily.
Ben – who has sons Jack, 12, and Sam, 10, with his wife Annie Perks – said: "As you well know Garraway, I have a collection of vacuum cleaners.
"I think it is always important to have the right tools for your job. Do you have a vacuum cleaner which is good for wooden floors or for carpets, for the stairs or for curtains?"
Kate joked: "It has been a long time coming, about 20 years but finally… that is the weirdest thing I have ever heard."
