When Cat Deeley became presenter of This Morning earlier this year I had not heard of her before, some of my friends are surprised that I did not know who she was. (We are all in our 40's by the way) I knew who Holly Willoughby was though.

Am I weird in never having heard of her before?

I definitely know who she was - quite a regular on UK TV before she moved to the USA

I knew her from way back when she did MTV presenting but I don’t think YABU/YANBU whether you know her or not, not everyone shares the same pop culture.

boysmuminherts · 16/09/2024 18:22

yes SM:TV and Fame Academy

StoatofDisarray · 16/09/2024 18:22

I don't know who she is, period!

Ah I don't like bondes, either sex, but she had a career before him

greengreyblue · 16/09/2024 18:20

She was a well known TV presenter Iin the 90s then wen to US for quite a few years Married to Patrick Kielty or do you not know who he’s is either!! .

SonjaBarkerFinch · 16/09/2024 18:20

I knew her name but couldn’t have picked her out of a line up. But I don’t watch TM so I probably still wouldn’t know who she is.

AhBiscuits · 16/09/2024 18:20

43 and of course I'd heard of her. I'm surprised you hadn't.

Ugly is harsh but I do think it's disingenuous to suggest they look like a probable match as a couple based on appearances (they clearly do match as a couple, considering how long they've been together).

I haven't seen him on anything for years so took it he's still working in the US?

Show quote history

Paddy is hosting the Late Show on RTE in Ireland. It's their flagship show. He is vvv popular in Ireland (both bits)

Paddy Kielty has the prime time programme on the Irish tv channel RTE. A 2 hour live chat show on Friday nights and he’s great on it.

She was the presenter for So You Think You Can Dance, USA, and was fantastic on it.

Rory17384949 · 16/09/2024 18:17

Yes from SMTV! I'm 43

Tulipsareredvioletsarebue · 16/09/2024 18:17

I know her from So you think you can dance! It was ages ago though.

I’m late 40s, knew who she was, have never watched TV in the morning in my life, and saw her as a generically-appealing (in the U.K.) white, blonde, perpetually-smiling young woman with no discernible personality other than to be a foil for the men she appeared alongside. Holly Willoughby is modelled on her, I think. She was unlike, say, Zoe Ball who had a distinct personality - also of its time and not my cup of tea.

I don't think that's fair. She was genuinely funny on SMTV.

MelainesLaugh · 16/09/2024 18:17

I’m mid 40s and I knew who she was

EmmaGrundyForPM · 16/09/2024 18:16

I'm in my 50s and know who she is. I thought she was in the US though, I didn't realise she's back on UK TV.

Piggywaspushed · 16/09/2024 18:16

Patrick Kielty made an extraordinarily moving documentary about the murder of his father in The Troubles. He's not a great comedian but he is a good man and an excellent presenter.

Yeah used to love her in smtv days, she went low profile for a while, think she moved to America or something

I know her profile was lower in the UK during those years, but she was presenting So You Think You Can Dance in the US so she was properly famous there too.

She's seriously successful.

I remember the song:

We all love Cat Deeley
She smiles on our TV

Can't recall who sang it.

Ant and Dec and Trevor and Simon ' we don't do duvets'. I watched it in my 20s!!

MolkosTeenageAngst · 16/09/2024 18:13

I know her from SMTV live, I didn’t know she was on this morning now.

Patrick Kielty is not ugly!

I can't believe she's 53! She looks really well. I know that's because she has money to look good but I think she looks as natural as can be if she's had any work done.
