Ben Shephard has revealed that his eldest son will turn 17 next week and he's got big plans in store for the teen.
As he hosted Thursday's Good Morning Britain alongside good friend Kate Garraway, the father-of-two admitted he can't quite believe his son will be one year off turning 18 and entering adulthood.
Ben and Kate had just been discussing the premiere of the new Top Gun film at Cannes Film Festival with Richard Arnold, when he confirmed he's already booked his tickets to see it.
The 47-year-old TV star said: "It's my Sam's 17th birthday. So the film comes out next Wednesday officially... it's my Sam's 17th, I can't believe he's 17, and we've got tickets for Maverick for next Wednesday and we're gonna go as a family altogether."
Although Ben opts to keep his sons Sam and Jack out of the limelight, he does give fans a glimpse of them on his Instagram page.
A post he shared in December last year to mark his birthday showed him walking along the streets of London with his arms around his two boys.
Ben captioned the sweet photo: "So just wanted to say thank you for all the really lovely birthday messages. I had a great day can’t believe I’ve had 47 of them!?!? How do that happen.
"V special day with the family, the only benefit of these two getting way bigger than me, is they can hold me up too!!"
It's certainly not the first time that Ben has commented on Jack's height as he also shared a snap of him walking with his mother under an umbrella in May last year.
Ben captioned the post: "Sunshine on a rainy day! Mrs S organized a lovely lunch @thevictoriasheen It was the first time we’ve all been out for lunch for months and was delicious!! The rain didn’t stop play either although Sam is clearly too tall for this umbrella now!"
Good Morning Britain airs weekdays at 6am on ITV and ITV Hub.
