Ben Shephard's For Skin, Empty Nesting & Being Fit at 50

Ben Shephard's For Skin, Empty Nesting & Being Fit at 50

Author: Kate Thornton June 11, 2026 Duration: 35:00

WARNING: This episode contains mentions of Ben Shephard's For Skin. For the avoidance of ANY doubt - For Skin is the name of his new skincare brand (with Joel Dommett) but it's funny to say... and Kate says it A LOT in this episode.


This is Ben's second appearance on the podcast and he's always welcome - fun fact - Kate named her son (Ben) after Ben Shephard - so as you can imagine - there's a lot of love between the two - and it makes for an exceptional conversation.

Cheers!

There’s a particular kind of conversation that happens after a glass or two of wine, where guards come down and real stories emerge. That’s the atmosphere White Wine Question Time captures so perfectly. Hosted by Kate Thornton, each episode gathers well-known friends for a relaxed yet revealing chat, structured around three thoughtful questions and, of course, a shared bottle. What unfolds is less a formal interview and more a glimpse into the genuine friendships behind the public personas. You’ll hear laughter, unexpected confessions, and perspectives on culture, society, and current events that rarely make the headlines. This podcast thrives in the space between entertainment and intimate disclosure, often veering into comedy as these candid discussions unfold. With a vast back catalogue of over 450 episodes, each one feels like pulling up a chair to a fascinating table. Whether you start with the latest release or browse the extensive archive, you’re guaranteed a listen that’s as engaging and relevant as it is genuinely enjoyable.
