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

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

I like her and now she won't shut up 😂

Haven't watched it for years. I didn't even realise they'd replaced Phil and Holly until this thread.
Was that because of the whole Phil scandal sex thing?

I think she’s pretty good and talks a lot, a little bit too much occasionally when she talks over the experts.

Deffo doesn’t appear to be forbidden to speak to me.

Loved Phil and Holly. Ben is okay, bit mediocre. Can’t stand Cat.

I’m not a fan of This Morning, but any time over the years I’ve caught it the formula seems to be ‘male presenter does big heavy talking, nice female presenter nods seriously or tinkle laughs at appropriate moments’.

Yeah I haven't watched it since Richard and Judy but whenever I've caught small sections of Phil and Holly it seemed to be that way.

@Mothership4two 😂 I can see how it could have been misleading

Some topics she’s really over the top, where I wish she’d tone it down a bit.

She's great I love her style and she's no stepford wife like Holly.

Jack Dee used to say that the male in this kind of presenting duo was the "trustworthy twat" whereas the usually more intelligent female was just employed to smile and look pretty.

Well I thought it was an actual feline 😀 I'm watching now and she's chatting away fine with the menopause Dr .

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

She's probably sat ther thinking what a load of tripe this is but I'm getting paid a load of money so I'll facilitate it by saying as little as possible.
