This morning-why is Cat not allowed to speak as much

38 replies

Just watching This morning, it seems to be Ben talking a vast majority of the time. I like Cat Deeley and think she’s doing a good job

Another one disappointed this isn't about an annoying talking cat.

Was intrigued by the title, but it wasn't as interesting as what was in my head!

Same. Imagined the cat at the breakfast table, and op being enraged that another family member wouldn’t let it speak….

She seems genuinely nice whereas I found holly very fake. The constant childish giggling and innuendos between her and Phil were very tiresome.

Brightandbubly · 25/04/2024 23:25

She is lovely, natural, down to earth, she has a great, quirky presenting style

BOOTS52PollyPrissyPants · 25/04/2024 23:22

I don't get to see it much but she seems like a really nice person and more genuine than Holly who was always giggling and sneaky Philip who got on my nerves. Maybe she was told to calm down a bit as could have been nervous chatter also. Least she has a bit of life in her unlike her boring husband who now does the late late show here in Ireland, can't watch it as he bores me to death.

@Delatron Yeah, people can be so awful, no need for it and it’s pretty obvious what kind of people make nasty comments.

No, def wouldn’t have Kate with Ben, Cat is more fun and adds a lightness to it, trolls are so pathetic

Dermot and Alison were better, but really the prog went downhill after Fern Britton left and is not much good these days. I suspect she’s wondering what the … she’s got into and so looks and feels uncomfortable

BirthdayRainbow · 25/04/2024 21:44

I hardly watch now but wish it was Ben and Kate.

Delatron · 25/04/2024 21:43

She must have a tough skin. I won’t repeat the comments but I couldn’t hack it. Fair play to her. Strong woman.

BirthdayRainbow · 25/04/2024 21:42

At the beginning there was a lot of online comments about her talking a lot and over other people so maybe she has taken that on board.

Just looked at her Instagram page, some comments really awful and not fair, must be so gutting to read horrible things from
sad trolls with two pictures/a few friends, I couldn’t do it!

Me too 🤣

Idontjetwashthefucker · 25/04/2024 21:39

Not a fan at all, her voice grates on me and it all seems just too forced, especially when she's trying to be funny.

Love Ben though, very warm and shatp

@Delatron Aww really, how awful, I couldn’t do it either, good for her for keeping smiling, much nicer than Holly!

OP posts:
Delatron · 25/04/2024 18:38

I like her. But she seems to be getting a lot of criticism all over her instagram page and the This Morning one saying she talks too much and talks over guests. So many comments saying this.

So either she’s personally decided to reign it in or they’ve told her to. I couldn’t do her job. The public are brutal.

JellyBabiesSaveLives · 25/04/2024 18:35

Came in to find out how you get a cat to stop miaowing. Oh well.

pearlevu · 25/04/2024 18:19

I love her she's so refreshing

Yeah I thought a real cat . 🐱

uncomfortablydumb53 · 25/04/2024 14:01

I think they're good together
Ben particularly has a good combination of warmth wit and empathy

yarnwitch · 25/04/2024 13:43

When they first started together Cat got criticism for talking too much and talking over guests. Maybe she was told to tone it down?

Literally ten minutes after I posted, she wouldn’t stop talking 🙈🤣She seems really nice though

I was like Shush Cat 😂 I think they take turns really tbf and I think Ben is quite a generous Co host and at least they don't smirk and giggle like P&H used to do as if everything was a private joke.

Yes Holly resigned she was also being stalked and I think she just took a step away.
