To think she is tone deaf? Just watched her on This morning doing a supermarket Valentines meal segment.

She slated the food from Asda and it took Ben to point out that it was only £11 for the 2 meals, it tasted nice and it was great value. Utterly tone deaf to what a huge majority of the population can afford.

She was also incredibly rude constantly talking over the lady presenting the meals. So much so that Ben had to ask for it to be repeated.

Before she got with Patrick Kielty I saw him on a programme eat maggots.

I can't look at him without remembering that and feeling queasy.

How she can have marries him is beyond me as he doesn't come across as being interesting or intelligent.

Glad to see I'm not alone! Well for most of the posters...

Daytime tv is so bad, the presenters seem to me as though they know they’re presenting trash. Easy money for crap they’d never watch themselves / openly take the piss out of.
Overpaid time wasters.

I watched it too. I don’t like her on This Morning one bit. She doesn’t listen to the people she interviews properly, says random statements without backing them up with anything, talks over everyone and then does that strange manic laugh when nobody else is laughing with her like she’s trying to make it look (forced) fun. I cringe for her.
Ben often looks uncomfortable when she says things.
Allison and Dermot/Ben do a far better job.

theressomanytinafeysicouldbe · 11/02/2025 13:53

I like Alison and Dermot. I also like Josie and that hot Irish guy - can't remember his name.

But yes, I agree the format is a little tired and some of the topics are boring.

And i'm sick of playing spin to win and not winning lol

She's always so manic and over exaggerating gestures and facial expressions, it's just too much. Think she lived out in la la land for too long.

Totally agree. She’s hard to watch sometimes, At least she’s stopped saying “For sure, for sure” all the bloody time. Someone must have had a word.

I think its just the show, its awful. I don't think anyone who appears on it comes off well Holly Willoughby used to seem so stuck up and false on it as well, I mean she might be but the format is just so old and tired now its time to sack it off.

This.

And there is no trust now Phil and Gino have been exposed.

Someone realised that if the most outrageous things were done and said they would masses of YouTube clicks.

Gemma893 · 11/02/2025 13:19

I didn't see it but I'd rather someone said if they didn't like something rather than fakely pretending they did.

Just looked up the Asda deal and it looks like it's all processed microwave meals so don't blame Cat for turning her nose up at it. You could probably make something much better yourself for the same price. Let's face it a microwave cottage pie or lasagne is absolutely nothing like homemade.

Flamingoknees · 11/02/2025 13:18

I'm glad she was honest, but she over did it, and was rude. She did say the lasagne was nice, I think.

Yes! So my post was deleted! I meant This Morning has had its day! Jeez. As if I’d speak about either woman in a derogatory way! Clearly they don’t know what old tripe means. Means rubbish here in South London

Well two ready meals for £11, is hardly likely to be top notch. I will try to watch it on +1, as I am intrigued now.

Starter
Main course
Two Sides
Dessert
Wine

Pretty good for £12.00 but I am easily pleased 😀

Let me get this right - you said something about watching that old tripe and people immediately jumped to the conclusion you meant Holly Willoughby or Cat Deeley? 🤣🤣🤣

Sunshineandrainbow · 11/02/2025 13:02

Can I just say the Asda meal deal is fab. Me and DD have already spread one out over a few days and I am going back for another 😀

ssd · 11/02/2025 13:00

I agree op

BreatheAndFocus · 11/02/2025 12:59

She reminds me of my ex-SIL - and that’s not a compliment….
She’s her own biggest fan.

eachpeachpea · 11/02/2025 12:55

I only caught a little bit of it this morning, never usually watch it and not familiar with her but she kept talking over the male presenter which was so bloody rude.

MissyB1 · 11/02/2025 12:53

Just had a watched that segment, I agree she was rude. Busy showing off to Giles instead of listening and focusing on the food. I would have told her off!

Cattery · 11/02/2025 12:53

I don’t know why, when I said old tripe anyone thought I meant either presenter! I meant the show!

LadyKenya · 11/02/2025 12:32

Have seen it now, and think that other than the baby food comment, and acting as if she had no teeth, she was fine. It makes a change from people being false all the time on those sorts of programmes, pretending that they like everything. I think that they should bin the likes of TM, Loose Women, and all Ant&dec shows, personally, oh, and Lorraine, in fact just bin ITV altogether!

Is there any need for misogyny and ageism? She's in her late 40s, by the way.

whycantibeselfishforonce · 11/02/2025 12:13

I did catch this segment today. Tbf she did say lots of nice things about the food it was just the dessert from Asda that she said she didn't like. Ben was just calling her fussy etc. It was a panna cotta type thing and she was complaining about the texture of it. She did say it was like baby food which was perhaps a little too much - but perhaps it was awful! Fair enough she didn't like it. I think it would have been wrong for them to just say it was all delicious if they didn't think it was. It was just her opinion. Also I think she did talk over the lady who was explaining the food to them a little bit but I'm sure that was because they were running out for time and Cat would have had the producer shouting in her ear to move things along.
