‘You’re up to no good’: Ben Fordham has his hands full as he attempts to put his three young children to bed while on holidays
He balances fatherhood with a career as a popular 2GB radio host and TV presenter.
And Ben Fordham certainly had his hands full while on holidays on Monday.
The 44-year-old shared a hilarious video to Instagram as he attempted to put his three young (and energetic) children to bed.

‘So this is what happens on holidays,’ Ben says in the video, as he zooms the camera in on six-year-old son Freddy who bounces around on the top bunk.
‘Freddy, hop in the bed,’ Ben continues. ‘Freddy’s in the top bunk.. Freddy, hop in your bed properly.’
The camera pans over to four-year-old daughter Pearl in the bottom bunk, followed by one-year-old daughter Marigold who sweetly looks at her father through louvers.

‘We do not look through the louvers… baby in there,’ Ben hilariously says. ‘Excuse me, excuse me. You’re up to no good. We do not look through the louvers.’
Ben shares his adorable children with his Channel Seven presenter wife Jodie Speers, who he wed in 2011.
He had been following her early career in radio, and the pair soon began dating after they met at a friend’s 40th.

Ben commended Jodie on her mothering and intelligence in an interview with The Australian Women’s Weekly last year.
‘I’m a very lucky man. Jodie is an incredible woman, a very talented journalist and the best mum in the world,’ Ben gushed.
‘She is her own woman. I come from a family of strong, independent women and I find that very attractive. I won the lottery the day I met her.’
