This Morning fans all say the same thing as Cat Deeley makes debut

This Morning viewers all said the same thing on Monday morning when Cat Deeley joined Rylan Clark to host the first show of the week.

Welcoming her to the show, Rylan said: "Hello and welcome to your Monday morning's This Morning.

"And what a way to start the week, TV legend Cat Deeley is in the studio, everyone!"

Laughing at the introduction, she teased: "Can you believe they let the naughtiest people in television live on TV?"

Rylan quipped: "Now this is officially the end, just letting you all know guys! This is how it ends, with us two.

"It is so lovely to see you, I knew you were a massive big deal all my life but today confirmed it when I walked down the corridor of power and saw this, babe we're on the wall."

Viewers of the show took to their X accounts, formerly known as Twitter, to discucss her arrival as @Kelly McCartney praised: "It's early but I like the pairing of Cat and Rylan #thismorning."

Vanessa White-Smith noted: "#CatDeeley back on British TV!! #thismorning."

@geordiegalg said: "Ah it's lovely to see Cat Deeley presenting with Rylan. Dream Team #ThisMorning."

Lucy Rogers commented: "#thismorning omg yes Rylan and Cat doing the show this will be a good one." (sic)

However, not all viewers were as keen on Cat as the others, as @BrightonTina7 added: "#thismorning Oh I’m really not sure about these two…he’s super irritating and she’s a giggler."

@CalmerCalm penned: "Bring back Josie please! She is much more friendlier and bubblier... and I am a huge fan!" (sic)

It was reported that Cat would be joining the This Morning team as a TV insider said: "Cat is a seasoned pro and execs have been keen to get her in for a while. She takes live TV in her stride and is really witty and personable with guests.

"She is comfortable interviewing both pop stars and politicians, so if it goes well she could be a much more permanent solution to Holly leaving. Cat would be safe captain to steady the ship."

After the news was announced, Cat joined Rylan Clark on his BBC Radio 2 show: "Can you believe it? They’ve let us loose.

“I mean, who in their right mind… I don’t know who’s in charge, clearly no one.”

Rylan responded that their partnership would be "the two that put that final nail in the coffin" to which Cat laughed and added: "I like to think it’s care in the community or something like.

"They’re just looking after us… like they’re teetering on the brink of like going downhill from here (so they thought) ‘let’s just get them on’.”

Rylan also joked: "If we don't play wonkey donkey I'm not doing it …. @thismorning @catdeeley," on his X account, after re-tweeting a news article about Cat's new role.

This Morning airs weekdays from 10am on ITV1 and ITVX.
