Cat Deeley Dazzles in Bathrobe During Luxe Staycation

On Wednesday, Ben explained he would be joined by former Strictly Come Dancing contestant Angela, without any update on when Cat would be back.

He told viewers at the start of the show, pointing towards his new co-star: 'She's back! For another day, Angela Scanlon is with me!'

Taking to X, formerly Twitter, viewers reacted to Angela's return, with one writing: 'Where's Cat?' as another chimed in: 'Team, where's Cat?'

'How far down the list of replacements was Angela Scanlon?' someone else hit out, as another concluded: 'I'm late! Where's cat?'

Others hit out against Angela, with one writing: 'Get rid of her and I may watch again,' as another added: 'Can Scanlon try better to disguise reading the autocue?'

But fans were quick to step in to defend the presenter, adding: 'Angela Scanlon is a total breath of fresh air on This Morning today!

'She stepped in at the last minute for Cat Deeley and the chemistry with Ben Shephard is already top-tier. Can we see more of this duo?'

Someone else penned: 'Angela is great, natural, down to earth,' as a third added: 'Can we please replace Cat Deeley with Angela Scanlon?'
