Cat Deeley issues statement on This Morning future after fans begged for permanent role

This Morning star Cat Deeley confirmed it was her last day on the ITV show after fans begged her to be made permanent.

The TV star, 47, made her official debut on Monday (November 13), stepping in as a presenter alongside Rylan Clark. Following Holly Willoughby’s departure after 14 years, ITV bosses are continuing to look for a full-time replacement.

During the latest instalment (November 15) of the programme, Cat joined forces with Craig Doyle, who she said was “finishing her off” as it was her final day hosting. After giving her 52-year-old co-star a hug and kiss on the cheek, the mum-of-two quipped: “It’s kind of my last day today. You’re finishing me off.

“That’s it I’m done. I’m done. I’m going home and I’m taking my mug with me.” It’s likely fans won’t be pleased with the news as Cat was an immediate hit with viewers after her first show with Rylan, 35.

As the daytime programme opened, Cat joked that she couldn’t believe the “naughtiest people in television” were live on ITV together. Laughing, Rylan agreed: “Now this is officially the end… this is how it ends. With us two!”

“It kind of is!” agreed Cat. “But let’s go down in like, a storm.” “We will, we will!” Rylan agreed.

A second user agreed, adding: “Cat Deeley and Rylan should be the permanent hosts for This Morning!” The pair then returned for Tuesday’s edition of the show (November 14).
