I never liked the Krypton Factor as a kid, but they repeated it on FTN a couple of years ago and I got quite addicted. Today's reveal of the new presenter leaves me extremely cold though. He's the televisual equivalent of beige. Ugh. Unlike Gordon Burns - who is currently starring on the BBC's regional news in the North West - he's had a personality bypass. Besides, Gordon Burns once introduced me on Radio2, fact fans.
Actually, looking at that photo, Burns and Shephard do look quite similar. I don't think many women fancy Shephard though.

It's a shame that they feel the need to change the presenter at all. Gordon can still cut it. Still, could have been worse. Joe Pasquale?
I can't bear Ben Shephard. His agent is determined that ITV should make him a star, but he's too much of a personality-free boy for it ever to happen, and ITV know this. But still they plug away.
His interviews on GMTV, where he's trussed up in an uncomfortable-looking suit and tries to be all hard-hitting and Paxmanesque are excuciating. You can see the interviewee bristling and thinking it's way past his bedtime and he's just over-tired and showing off.
