Ben Shephard has proven that new isn't necessarily better with a new video showing his Christmas tree. The Good Morning Britain star took to Instagram with the clip, revealing that his family's tree is in fact 10 years old.

"It's done," he captioned it, as he showed off the transformation after decorating. "We've had this tree for 10 years and it's still doing the job – most importantly it doesn't drop needles!! Think @Mrsannieshephard has done a great job, as ever ably distracted by me and the boy. Right now for the eggnog!!"

Job done."
