Will Cat Deeley be back on This Morning today? Fans wonder if Angela Scanlon will return for a third day to host alongside Ben Shephard
This Morning fans are wondering if Cat Deeley will return to present the ITV show today after being absent for the last couple of days.
This Morning fans are used to starting their day with show hosts Cat Deeley and Ben Shephard.
But, on Tuesday (February 24) and Wednesday (February 25), they were surprised to see that Cat was not in the studio, and instead Ben was joined by Angela Scanlon instead as a co-host.
Fans have taken to social media over the last couple of days to question where Cat is, as an explanation hasn’t been given by ITV for her absence.
When Cat was first missing on Tuesday, Ben simply told viewers that “Cat is away”, and didn’t elaborate as to why.
Then, when Wednesday’s show began Angela was stood next to Ben again. He then told fans: “She's back! For another day, Angela Scanlon is with me!"
It’s unclear if Cat will return to the show today (Thursday February 26), or if Angela will return for a third day in a row.
However, it does seem quite likely that Cat won’t be back to her This Morning hosting duties today as she appears to be on holiday in the US.
Yesterday afternoon UK time, Cat posted a short video to her Instagram Stories which showed her looking out of the window of what appeared to be a high rise hotel at snow. It is currently snowing in New York, so it is likey that this is where Cat currently is and has just taken a few days holiday.
If that is the case, then Cat may not be back on ITV for the remainder of this week. But, viewers will just have to wait and see as this hasn’t been confirmed.
Viewers approve of Angela as a This Morning host, however, and many have called for her to be a permanent member of the presenting team. “Breath of fresh air having Angela Scanlon presenter,” one person wrote on X. “Angela Scanlon is brilliant on #ThisMorning. What a superb addition to the #This Morning Team of presenters. Great vision by the production team on the show to bring Angela on board,” a second person said. A third praised her “chemistry” with Ben.
