A brand new season of Ninja Warrior is about to be back on our screens, which means we’re about to be treated to shots of some incredibly fierce and super fit contestants.
While we watch the show while tucking into our UberEats and a bottle of wine, it’s hard not to be motivated by these, well, fitness warriors.
Ben Fordham, host of the hit show, seems to have also been inspired by the insanely toned participants, as he has been showing off a more slender frame as of late.
During an interview with Triple M Sydney’s Moonman in the Morning, Ben revealed how he trimmed the fat, and it all comes down to a very unorthodox approach.
“I moved the booze from every day of the week to one day of the week,” Ben revealed during the interview.

“And believe it or not, I met a hypnotherapist who told me that he could hypnotise me into not eating as much chocolate, ice-cream, lollies and drinking as much wine or beer as I was previously. He’s unbelievable!”
Moonman then went on to joke that “drinking alone” wouldn’t be an issue for Ben since he was a father of soon-to-be three kids.
“Well the kids aren’t usually sitting up with me having vodka,” he joked, “but I’ve cut out beer altogether – apart from on the day that Bob Hawke died, I sculled two that night. [Now there’s] lots of vodka and lots of tequila.”
And while his choice of drink has changed, he’s definitely copped a ribbing from his closest mates – including his brother.
“My brother calls them the NRL’s. I ordered a vodka, lime and soda one night with my brother and he goes, ‘Oh, you’re on the NRLs’ and I said, ‘What do you mean?’ and he goes ‘All the league players are on the vodka, lime and sodas!’.”

Ben, who is already the proud father to son Freddy, four, and daughter Pearl, who turns two in October, shared the happy news via his Instagram account in April.
Alongside a 3D video of his unborn bub at their 18-week ultrasound, the 42-year-old penned: “Incoming !!! Baby #3 coming soon to the Fordham family. Love ya @jodiespeers 🐣🐣🐣.”
But it was the heartwarming video posted to Jodie’s Instagram, which you can watch in the player at the top of this story, that really took the cake!
“So, if we were to have another baby, do you guys have any good names?” Ben asks his blonde cherubs, Freddy and Pearl, to which they reply with their hilarious suggestions, including “Apple” and “Chocolate”.

Story continues after the video…
“We’re looking forward to welcoming one more sibling for these two come September! 🐣 Not sure their name suggestions will make the cut, but we’ll keep working on it,” Jodie captioned the post.
2GB host Ben has won a legion of fans online thanks to his adorable videos featuring his son, who he affectionately calls “old mate”, and daughter, so we can’t wait to see a third Fordham child on our Instagram feeds soon!
