During the show, Cat reacted to a playful remark from Paddy with a light-hearted comment, which some viewers interpreted as pity. However, the TV star later explained that her words were taken out of context and that the pair share a great working relationship.
Clearing the Air
In a heartfelt post, Cat wrote: "Paddy and I have such a laugh together on set—it was all in good fun! Absolutely no harm meant." She went on to praise Paddy’s professionalism and humour, emphasising that their on-screen chemistry is genuine.
Paddy McGuinness also responded in kind, joking: "If I had a pound for every time someone called me ‘poor Paddy’, I’d be richer than the Beckhams!" The exchange put any rumours of tension to rest.

Fans of the show quickly rallied behind the duo, with many calling the moment "classic British telly banter." Social media was flooded with supportive messages, praising their professionalism and camaraderie.
One fan tweeted: "Love how Cat and Paddy handle things—no drama, just pure fun! #ThisMorning."
