Ben Shephard’s one-word response as 72-year-old escort makes racy admission
Ben Shephard was left surprised after a guest on This Morning made some racy confessions live on-air. He and Cat Deeley were joined on the sofa by Caroline, a 72-year-old escort, during Tuesday's (4 February) instalment of the ITV show.
Caroline, a former Christian in her 70s who decided to take up sex work later in life, has also appeared on Olivia Attwood's Getting Filthy Rich. She revealed how she came to be an escort and didn't hold back when it came to recalling some of her encounters with men.
Caroline described one date she went on, which ended in heading to a hotel, where she performed a certain sexual act that she'd never done before. She revealed the receiver praised her abilities and added: "I wasn't quite sure what to expect really!"

Her explicit confession left Ben red-faced, and he simply responded: "Right!" as he and Cat attempted to steer the conversation back to less racy topics.
Caroline, who previously worked at a florist, revealed she earns thousands per month under her online persona Busty Granny. Having previously enjoyed her "nice little Christian life," Caroline decided to change her lifestyle after questioning whether there is God after running into tough times in her personal life.
She was then propositioned by a 27-year-old rugby player when she was 57, which led to the pair enjoying "flirty stuff over the phone".
Caroline was informed she could make money this way and soon found a documentary about an 82-year-old doing the same thing, leading to her setting up as a professional escort.
Caroline, who has no children or grandchildren, makes around £3,000 per month and has paid off her mortgage thanks to her new venture, admitting she's "loving life".
However, her siblings "aren't too impressed" by her unique career venture and refused to meet her because of what they'd seen in the media.
Viewers at home weren't overly impressed with Caroline's interview on This Morning, with some questioning whether the segment was suitable for morning TV due to her racy admissions.
This Morning airs on weekdays at 10am on ITV1 and ITVX
