BREAKING NEWS: Cat Deeley BREAKS SILENCE On Fiery ‘Argument’ As She Delivers BRUTAL Response To Question About Ex Patrick Kielty
This Morning’s star, Cat Deeley, had a sharp retort when asked about the possibility of co-hosting a show with her ex-husband Patrick Kielty.
The couple, who surprisingly parted ways earlier this year after 13 years of marriage, have usually been private about their relationship.
However, during an appearance on the Live with Kelly and Mark Show last year, Cat, who is celebrating her 49th birthday today (Thursday, October 23), gave a rare insight into her relationship with the County Down-born Patrick.
Prior to the announcement of their split, the This Morning presenter revealed to hosts Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos that she was not keen on the idea of presenting the ITV show alongside Patrick.
She said: “There was question at the time as to whether my husband would do it, because he’s a stand-up comedian and he’s also a host too. So, everybody was saying oh is he going to do it with you as well and I was like ‘no thank you’.”
When Kelly suggested that it could be “surprisingly pleasant”, Cat replied: “What happens if you have a row at home?”
Cat and Patrick first met while co-presenting the BBC talent show Fame Academy in 2002. They remained friends for many years until 2011, when Patrick flew to Los Angeles to attend Cat’s birthday brunch, turning their friendship into a romantic relationship. Less than a year later, they tied the knot in a beautiful ceremony in Rome.
Since then, the couple have welcomed two sons into their family, Milo born in 2016 and James arriving nearly two-and-a-half years later.
However, after 13 years of marriage, they announced earlier this year that they would be parting ways. They issued a joint statement which read: “We have taken the decision to end our marriage and are now separated. There is no other party involved.”
The statement went on to say: “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.”
Aside from her personal life, Cat has been a constant fixture on our televisions over the past two decades, presenting shows such as Who Wants to Be a Millionaire, The One Show and most recently, This Morning.
