Cat Deeley looked effortlessly chic in a red roll neck jumper and navy coat as she enjoyed a girls’ day out in London on Friday.
The newly-single This Morning presenter appeared radiant and glowing as she carried a huge bouquet of flowers to gift to her designer pal Charlie Brear.
The close friends sat down for a fancy lunch at French restaurant, Soutine, to celebrate Cat’s 49th birthday.
Before their lavish luncheon, Cat splashed the cash in Liberty London as she stepped out with the department store’s iconic bag.
Over summer, Cat confirmed her split from fellow TV star Patrick Kielty, 54, after 12 years of marriage.
A photo obtained by The Sun recently showed a removal van outside their north London rental property, with movers seen loading boxes along with lamps and chairs.

Patrick is thought to be staying at the property, which sits just a short distance from the couple’s £5million five-bedroom ‘forever home,’ that they purchased two years ago and have been renovating.
According to the publication, Cat is worried about how The Late Late Show Patrick is handling the end of their marriage.
A source told the outlet: ‘She’s worried Patrick seems to be taking longer to adjust. He misses the family unit, and the pressure of work on top of the public split has made it hard for him.
The source added: ‘Cat still cares a lot for him and wants him to be in a good place for the boys and for himself so that does cause her some concern.’
Announcing their separation in July, Cat and Patrick said: ‘We have taken the decision to end our marriage and are now separated. There is no other party involved.
‘We will continue to be united as loving parents to our children and would therefore kindly ask for our family privacy to be respected. There will be no further comment.’
The Daily Mail previously revealed how Patrick’s family are still seething over Cat’s failure to attend his beloved mother’s funeral.
They say they knew at that moment their marriage was over for good.

Her ‘no show’ back in March has left deep emotional scars within the Kielty family who say it confirmed for them that there was little chance of a reconciliation between the two.
Clearly still upset at the anger and embarrassment it caused the family, one relative told the Daily Mail: ‘Whatever rockiness was going on in the marriage, something as momentous as his mother’s funeral, you would make up even temporarily and just put your ‘best face’ on as we say in Northern Ireland.
‘Cat obviously knew how close Patrick was to Mary and she should have come to be by his side, a hand on his shoulder as he buried his mother.
‘The fact that she stayed in London and presented This Morning on the day, it’s not been forgotten.’
The source added: ‘In a very tight knit community in Northern Ireland, people always turn out. It’s the done thing.
‘His family remain very upset by this. They still can’t believe it. It was the point when we all realised that that marriage had ended.’
Patrick looked bereft as he carried Mary’s coffin through his home village, where he was joined by close family and friends at the Church of the Sacred Heart.
A spokesperson for Cat told the Daily Mail at the time: ‘Cat remained at home to be there for her two young children before and after school on this very sad day.’
