Cat Deeley's Playful Hotel Video Fuels Speculation Over This Morning Absence
Cat Deeley, the beloved host of ITV's This Morning, has set social media abuzz with a cheeky and glamorous "get ready with me" video shared on Instagram this Thursday. The 49-year-old presenter, currently enjoying a winter escape to a snowy locale, offered fans an intimate glimpse into her morning routine from the confines of a lavish hotel bathroom.
A Glimpse into Cat's Lavish Morning Ritual
In the captivating clip, Cat Deeley was seen dancing playfully while wrapped in nothing but a skimpy white towel, showcasing a radiant tan that contrasted beautifully with the wintry backdrop. She expertly wrapped her wet hair in another plush white towel, briefly flashing her toned back as she paraded around the room with effortless grace.
The morning routine continued as Cat slipped into a comfortable white bathrobe, meticulously brushing her hair, applying deodorant, and administering eye drops. Sipping on a morning coffee to energise herself, she grooved to the camera before transitioning into her stylish ensemble for the day.
Stylish Transformation and Mysterious Location
Cat Deeley looked absolutely stunning as she changed into a chic outfit comprising a cropped tweed blazer, a crisp white turtleneck top, and sleek black jeans. She completed her look by touching up her makeup and adding a scarf for extra warmth, perfectly suited for venturing out into the snowy surroundings.
In a playful twist, Cat captioned her Instagram post: 'Set Prep, before heading down to Hair and Makeup! Not Stateside but pretty close. There’s plenty of snow… what’s your guess?' This cryptic message left her followers eagerly speculating about her exact whereabouts, adding an element of mystery to her winter getaway.
Fan Division Over Repeated This Morning Absence
This glamorous post comes amidst growing fan concern and division over Cat Deeley's repeated absences from her regular slot on This Morning. Earlier this week, she was notably missing from the programme, with co-host Ben Shephard simply stating, 'Cat is away', without offering any further explanation.
For the second consecutive day, Ben Shephard was joined by former Strictly Come Dancing contestant Angela Scanlon, 42, as a replacement. This development sparked a flurry of reactions on social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter, where viewers expressed mixed feelings.
Key Fan Reactions Included:
- One viewer questioned, 'Where's Cat?' while another echoed, 'Team, where’s Cat?'
- A critical fan remarked, 'How far down the list of replacements was Angela Scanlon?'
- Another simply stated, 'I'm late! Where's cat?' highlighting the confusion.
Defence and Praise for Angela Scanlon
Despite some criticism, many fans rushed to defend Angela Scanlon's performance. One supporter praised, 'Angela Scanlon is a total breath of fresh air on This Morning today! She stepped in at the last minute for Cat Deeley and the chemistry with Ben Shephard is already top-tier. Can we see more of this duo?'
Additional compliments included descriptions of Angela as 'natural, down to earth' and calls to 'replace Cat Deeley with Angela Scanlon'. However, detractors voiced opinions such as, 'Get rid of her and I may watch again,' and 'Can Scanlon try better to disguise reading the autocue?'
As Cat Deeley continues her snowy retreat, sharing snaps from London's Mayfair with friends on her Instagram stories, the speculation surrounding her This Morning commitments and the fan debate over her replacements show no signs of abating. This incident underscores the intense public interest in television personalities and their off-screen lives, blending entertainment news with viewer loyalty and critique.
