Did you know who Cat Deeley was before she joined This Morning?

[youareht]

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?

Did you work on Saturdays while the rest of us watched SMTV while nursing a hangover?

I remember her from her younger years.
Then she had a TV career in the USA.

Now, of course I know her, but don’t watch This Morning.
Her husband. Patrick, has the biggest show on Irish TV.

What a nasty little comment about Patrick Kielty. I'm sure he thinks very highly of you.

SMTV Live was my childhood!

What an unnecessarily nasty comment

I think she used to go on about a wonky donkey?

I'm fairly old and I knew who she was, but she had been in USA for work for a good while.

How dare someone call Patrick Kielty an ugly Irish man, what a cuntish thing
to say.

Of course - Cat The Dog from Birmingham!

Yes, we were hungover! It was blatantly aimed at us, do you remember the one where they got a big chocolate jelly in the shape of a starfish and made the guests get the ring out of the chocolate starfish 😂😂😂 I think it was Busted? Cat couldn't keep a straight face. It was genius.

Are you Irish? If be very surprised if many English people know her primarily because of who her husband is

Patrick Kielty is not ugly at all, and he’s one of the funniest comedians on TV. He comes across as a lovely husband and family man.

Well he's doing just fine for himself in Ireland. Plus he lived in the US for years.

He does a Sat am radio show on BBC radio 5 quite peak time so not entirely disappeared

I think she's pretty well known and would be shocked at someone in the UK not knowing who she is!

An ugly Irishman? A comedian (saw him do something about the Irish having to read manuals about how to make bombs, and 'Seamus, the manuals are all in Polish!' ) and a wit, and a man who answers back. Saw him answer back someone on a singing competition in the Noughties. Ugly maybe, but sexy AF!

same 😁 She was a good sport!

YABU I never know any famous people and I know who she is. Am 36

That said. I had totally forgotten where from, except some vague notion of her being a children's presenter, until I read other people's replies. But yes I used to watch her with Ant and Dec on SM:TV Live.

Chums! Wonky Donkey! Please Mr Postman!

so…er… yes.

Yes from fame academy!

Yeah agree. I've never even regularly watched anything she's on and I know she's very good. I haven't seen her on This Morning but I would've thought she'd be very good on it.

His job is massive too, they've always been successful but for them both to have gotten such big boosts in quick succession must've been quite the adjustment.

Yes I think most people would know. You're definitely the minority

Yes we didn’t have smart phones back so you’d up watching all sorts on TV when bored or hungover!
