Cat Deeley has shown off her incredible figure on a sun-kissed holiday as she takes a break from This Morning.

The mum-of-two, 47, has only been on the ITV show for a few weeks after being announced as the new permanent presenter alongside Ben Shepard. However, she’s already flown off with her family to enjoy the Easter break as she posed up a storm in her bikini in a clip posted on Instagram on Monday.

Sharing a striking video of herself in a pool, sporting a leopard-print two-piece and red goggles, accompanied by Frank Ocean’s Pink + White, Cat splashed about as she makes the most of her time off. The presenter, who shares two sons, Milo, eight and James, five, with comedian, Patrick Kielty, is enjoying a two-week break from her ITV hosting duties, with Alison Hammond and Dermot O’Leary stepping in for the Easter Holidays. Cat is expected to return alongside Ben on Monday, April 15, after making their debut together last month.

The Birmingham-born host and former Good Morning Britain presenter have received mixed reviews since making their debut together on 11th March, with some viewers questioning why the ITV show didn’t rebrand or change the set ahead of the duo being unveiled.

Fans were also miffed that Cat and Ben are already taking a break from the show having only just joined. One took to X, fuming: “Ben and Cat will be on for like two weeks then will go off for Easter for about three weeks… ridiculous”. Another advised: “They should’ve started after Easter and the studio itself given a makeover”.

Cat shot to fame as a presenter of the Saturday morning children’s show SM:TV Live on ITV, working with Anthony McPartlin and Declan Donnelly, and its music spin-off show, CD:UK, which included Holly Holly Willoughby. She has also hosted ITV’s Stars In Their Eyes, BBC’s Fame Academy, and the American competition series So You Think You Can Dance, which she presented for over ten years.

Meanwhile, Ben, is recognised for hosting the ITV quiz show Tipping Point as well as being a co-host on ITV1’s breakfast programme Good Morning Britain. He bid farewell to GMB in February so he could front This Morning, a show he has filled in for former host, Phillip Schofield in the past.

In the last year, This Morning has seen a slew of different presenters on its famous couch, including Cat who hosted alongside Rylan Clark in November. In May 2023, Broom Cupboard star, Phil, parted ways with ITV after he acknowledged having an “unwise but not illegal” relationship with a younger male co-worker. Wylde Moon guru Holly also said goodbye to the show in October, stating that she had made this “decision for me and my family”.
