Cat Deeley will co-host ITV’s This Morning next week as the broadcaster looks to replace former presenter Holly Willoughby.
In October, Willoughby announced she would be leaving her role on the show after 14 years.
With Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby having both left This Morning, a handful of presenters are temporarily taking on the roles but who will present it next week?
Who will present This Morning next week?
Deeley, 47, will host the show with Rylan Clark on Monday and Tuesday next week.
On Wednesday, she’ll be joined by Craig Doyle on the sofa.
Doyle and Alison Hammond will host on Thursday and Hammond and Dermot O’Leary will present their Friday programme together as usual.
Who is Cat Deeley?
Cat Deeley was a children’s TV presenter for SM:TV Live and she has hosted US entertainment show So You Think You Can Dance.
She is married to Irish comedian and TV presenter Patrick Kielty who is the new host of Irish chat show The Late Late Show, having taken over from Ryan Tubridy.

Announcing her departure from the show on Instagram, Willoughby wrote: “I have let ITV know today that after 14 years, I will not be returning to This Morning.”
She added: “To everyone who has ever worked on the show over the years, thank you so so much.
“This is such a difficult goodbye, you are incredible and I forever will be proud of what we’ve done together.”
In May, Willoughby’s former co-host Phillip Schofield left the show after he admitted to a relationship with a younger male former colleague.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
