Television star Cat Deeley has sent fans into a frenzy after stepping out without her wedding ring, igniting fresh speculation about the state of her marriage to comedian Patrick Kielty.
The 47-year-old presenter, known for her roles on SM:TV Live and This Morning, was photographed running errands in Los Angeles without the sparkling band she's worn since her 2012 nuptials.
A Marriage Under Scrutiny
Deeley and Kielty, who met while co-hosting BBC's Fame Academy in 2002, have long been considered one of showbiz's most stable couples. However, recent months have seen increasing whispers about potential trouble in paradise.
"Cat looked relaxed but noticeably ring-less," an onlooker reported. "She was smiling and going about her day, but fans couldn't help but notice the missing symbol of her marriage."
Keeping Up Appearances
Despite the speculation, the couple have maintained a united front in public. Just last month, they were seen enjoying a family day out with their two young sons in London.
Representatives for both Deeley and Kielty have declined to comment on the latest development, leaving fans to wonder whether this is simply a case of forgotten jewellery or something more significant.
The So You Think You Can Dance host has previously spoken about the challenges of balancing a transatlantic career with family life, telling reporters: "Marriage takes work, especially when you're juggling two countries and two busy careers."
