This Morning’s Cat Deeley suffers fresh blow after fans call for her and Ben Shephard to be axed
CAT Deeley has suffered a fresh blow after This Morning fans called for her and Ben Shephard to be axed.
This Morning fans recently made it clear they’d prefer Alison Hammond and Dermot O’Leary to be the main hosts after Cat, 47, and Ben, 49, took over last month.
Now Cat has faced further criticism from viewers over the US reality show So You Think You Can Dance.
She has hosted the show since 2006 and after a clip was shared on Instagram showing the upcoming episodes, fans made it clear they’re not happy.
One wrote: “Cat, what did they do to this show that we all loved? They ruined it. The new format is terrible. What a disappointment.”
Another said: “Can we get the original format back?”
And a third added: “I really hope you guys listen to the fans because this new format is not it.”
Since taking over from Holly Willoughby as This Morning‘s main female host Cat has been under scrutiny from the ITV show’s loyal viewers.
She recently came under fire for her choice of outfit when she showed up in a T-shirt and jeans.
A source said: “There were a few raised eyebrows by Cat’s outfit choice on Monday as it was so casual.
“It was a good thing there was no politician booked on the show to be interviewed or any breaking news.
“It’s important to dress professionally. She appeared smarter as the week wore on.”
And it seems viewers are still getting used to Cat and Ben as many recently called for Alison, 49, and Dermot, 50, to take over.
When Alison posted a picture of her and Dermot dancing on social media, a flurry of people rushed to comment.
One said: “Please you and Dermot to be the main presenters. What is wrong with the producers are they blind? Come bring the fun guys.”
Meanwhile, another said: “I cannot understand why these two aren’t the main hosts. Mind-boggling.”
And another commentator confessed that they are the only reason she switches on.
She said: “I only watch on a Friday now, for these two should be the main presenters.”
It was recently reported This Morning legend Fern Britton – who hosted the show from 1999 until 2009 – could make a comeback following her stint in the Celebrity Big Brother house.
