Cat Deeley and Ben Shephard have been named the official presenting duo of This Morning, stepping into the shoes of Holly Willoughby and Philip Schofield after their shock departures from the ITV daytime show last year.
Cat, who has hosted So You Think You Can Dance in the US since 2005, will make her This Morning debut alongside Ben in March.
The former SMTV presenter was dubbed a "breath of fresh air" for ITV after a trial stint in November, and has said she will "do her best" to take care of the beloved show, which she called: "funny, smart, silly, heartfelt, informative and joyful - like all the greatest friendships!"

Cat and Patrick's decision to uproot their family's lives in LA came after a horrifying shooter incident in an LA mall that put their family under threat.

According to MailOnline, Cat and Patrick have grand plans for the 1950s home, with hopes to create a grand new entrance hall, demolish a living room mezzanine floor and extend the bedrooms and terrace by 4ft.

In July 2023, Cat revealed that renovations for her dream home were well underway. Sharing a photo from within a demolished area of the property, the stunned TV star told her followers on Instagram: "Not going to lie. Got a bit of a shock today. Not much house, lots of air."
While the family home seems like it still has a way to go before it's a patch on their Los Angeles mansion, Cat did share a glimpse of her kitchen during a baking session with her son Milo last year.
