TV legend Cat Deeley has been a familiar face in the public eye after rising to fame on children's show SMTV Live back in the late 90s.
Since jetting off to America and returning to the UK, fans could be seeing more of the 47-year-old as she's set to reportedly host ITV's This Morning. According to recent reports, Ben Shephard and Cat are set for big-money deals as the new faces of the popular flagship show.
Insiders claim ITV bosses have chosen them to replace Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby on a more permanent basis. A source also told The Sun: "Lots of people were considered. Ultimately it’s about chemistry."

But away from her presenting duties, Cat has been known to have some rather saucy moments on and off the camera. Daily Star has taken a look at some of her wildest moments.
Lesbian romance rumours
Last year, presenter Edith Bowman, set the record straight regarding a rumoured romance between herself and Cat. The pair set tongues wagging back in the day as many believed they were in a relationship but Edith insists they were just good friends.
Talking candidly on Angela Scanlon’s Thanks a Million podcast, Edith recalled a time when pictures emerged of herself and Cat leaving a trendy bar together looking quite intoxicated. She said: "Photographs of us kind of holding each other up, coming out of the Met bar or whatever was because we were p****d.
"It wasn't because we were like, licking each other's faces off! We are in love, but as friends kind of thing, It's so bizarre," she added.
Married after dating for 9 months
Cat and Patrick Kielty tied the knot in 2012 after dating for nine months. The loved-up couple exchanged vows at the scenic St Isidore's College in Rome.
However, at the time Cat confessed she was so uninterested in wedding details that she let Patrick take over planning their very "chilled-out ceremony". She told Closer: "Patrick went and tried the food and did all that, I never even saw the place where I got married before I got married, that’s how uninvolved I was."
Although the star did confess that she wanted to make sure that all of her guests dressed up and had fun. She said: "I get to dress up and have really special occasions all the time, so to me, that was the most exciting thing to happen."
X-rated chat line
Cat was left red-faced after it came to light that her segment on SMTV: Live was based on a sex chat line. In 2020, ITV sent fans down memory lane on The Story of SMTV Live.
The show explored the iconic children's programme which rose Cat and Geordie duo Ant and Dec to prominence. But during the show, former Gogglebox star Scarlett Moffat spoke about the cheeky Cat Chat.
She said: "There was one bit where Cat used to do this thing…now I think it was a sex line…the Cat Chat. And I used to copy it and be like 'helloooo'. And then now I look back and I'm like 'oh that's what it was!'"
But after seeing an old clip of Cat Char themselves, Ant, Dec and Cat look rather embarrassed. Ant then shouted: "It's spoofing a sex chat line on Saturday mornings!"
Cat replied: "Yeah…yeah," to which Ant responded: "And you're cool with that yeah? You're cool with that? Let your kids watch that would you? Let your boys watch that now would you?"
Robbie Williams 'hook up'
Before she married Patrick in 2012, sources claim that singer Robbie Williams tried to hook Cat up with his brother-in-law. Robbie who is married to actress Ayda Field was apparently worried about Cat and wanted to make sure she wasn't lonely when she was working in America.
A source close to the singer told Daily Star: "Ayda’s brother Dylan Trussell is a good-looking fella and he’s always had a bit of a crush on Cat. Rob knows how harrowing the LA singles market is, so he invited her round for a double-date dinner.
"It was an intimate meal for four at Rob’s mansion. No pressure was intended. It was just something to let Cat know she had friends and social options in LA."
Naked health methods
Last month, Cat opened up on how she stays healthy after dealing with some tough side effects from Coronavirus. The TV presenter contracted Covid-19 in January 2021 and one symptom left her feeling like she had Multiple Sclerosis.
So, to focus on her recovery, Lisa uses infrared saunas and an oxygen chamber. Speaking to Women's Health UK, she said: "[I had] achy joints, no strength in my hands, and a weird thing that happened when I looked down – there's a nerve at the back of your neck – and it almost felt fizzy, electric."
Talking about her red light sauna and cryo-chamber sessions, she said: "I have to read a magazine. So I've got my glasses on, at the same time I try and put my legs up the wall. Completely naked. I mean… thank God no one can see me," she explained.
