Cat Deeley has been missing from the ITV daytime show This Morning for a second day in a row, with no official reason given for her absence. The presenter, who typically co-hosts the programme alongside Ben Shephard on weekdays, was notably absent again on Wednesday.
Angela Scanlon Returns to Cover for Deeley
Stepping in once more was former Strictly Come Dancing contestant Angela Scanlon, known for her work on BBC's The One Show. Scanlon previously covered for Deeley on Tuesday, marking her second consecutive day of filling the role.
At the start of the show, Ben Shephard simply acknowledged Scanlon's presence, stating: "She's back for another day. Angela's here with me again. We've got a big show for you today." No further details were offered regarding Deeley's whereabouts or the cause of her absence.
Scanlon Shares Personal Update During Broadcast
During the programme, Angela Scanlon provided a lighthearted personal update, revealing that it was her daughter Ruby's eighth birthday. She commented: "The birthday bangs are still intact. She's eight, I was thinking back to where I was [when she was born]. It was slightly out of body! This morning, 5:30 wakeup call and pancakes stacked with a candle. She's ready for a big day!"
The absence of Cat Deeley, a seasoned television host who joined This Morning earlier this year, has sparked curiosity among viewers. ITV has yet to issue any statement clarifying the situation, leaving the reason for her non-appearance unexplained.
This marks the second instance this week where Deeley has been missing from her regular hosting duties on the popular magazine show. The programme continued without interruption, featuring its usual mix of interviews, lifestyle segments, and news items.
