Cat said it was feeling “much better”, while Ben said: “You got attacked by one of your children on the weekend didn’t you.”
His co-host joked back: “I did, one of the terrorists got me!” Ben reminded her that building a den with children can be a “very dangerous job”, which Cat mimicked.
It followed a wave of concerns from fans who rushed to X to share their thoughts, with one posting: “Is Cat’s left eye getting worse as the show goes on?”

Another said: “Cat’s eye looks nasty.”
Ben and Cat are still in their first month on air but appear to have fully gotten into the swing of their routine. They were confirmed as the new replacement This Morning hosts earlier this year.
Their stint has made them the first official new hosting duo after Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby, with both hosts exiting the show in 2023, though months apart.

Cat and Ben were among multiple other hosts, including Rylan Clark and Emma Willis, who screen-tested by hosting the show with various partners for a brief time.
Ultimately Cat and Ben were picked as the newest duo as their fellow co-stars rushed in to congratulate them and welcome them to the This Morning family.
