Someone else said: ‘I wish Cat Deeley would stop fiddling with her hair! Either tie it up or have it cut into a style where you don’t have to keep touching it!
‘Is it something about women on this show? Willoughby was constantly doing it as well! Leave off! #thismorning.’
Others have previously penned: ‘I wish Cat would stop playing with her effing hair! #ThisMorning.’
While someone else added: ‘CAT FGS STOP MESSING WITH YOUR HAIR ALREADY #ThisMorning.’
One viewer said earlier this year: ‘Cat is already messing with her hair #ThisMorning.’

One viewer commented on Cat moving her hair on X while others have previously spotted it too
Cat and co-host Ben had been listening to children share stories about their favourite teachers at a school in Surrey when the emotional surprise unfolded.
Mrs Cotterill, Cat’s own teacher from her school days, appeared via video link – and casually referred to her by her real name, catching viewers off guard.
Addressing the star, she said: ‘Her name is Katie.’
Ben said to Mrs Cotterill: ‘Because you of course know her as Katie.’
Cat, who received a glowing report from Mrs Cotterill, revealed that her real name is Catherine.
She went on to share that she was known as Katie during her childhood – a far cry from the name fans have come to know her by over the years.

‘Well my real name is Catherine, but my grandad always used to call me Katie and my mum and dad and stuff,’ she said, adding: ‘Unless I was in trouble, then I was sometimes Catherine!’
Giving her feedback on Cat, who was delighted to see the familiar face, Mrs Cotterill said: ‘She was very enthusiastic, a very kind child.
‘Always wanting to help, always wanting to be involved, just actually, an all round super person.’
