Cat Deeley, a TV presenter, is reportedly anxious about returning to This Morning because she is facing criticism and embarrassment over her breakup with husband Patrick Kielty.
Cat Deeley is preparing for her return to ITV’s This Morning after the summer break, but behind the scenes, she’s reportedly feeling unsettled as she quietly navigates the emotional fallout from her marriage ending.
The 48-year-old presenter announced in July that she and husband Patrick Kielty had separated after 13 years together. The former couple share two young sons, Milo, eight, and James, six, and while they have asked for privacy, speculation around the reasons for their split has continued to swirl.
According to a source close to the star, Cat has no intention of bringing up her personal life on air when she reunites with co-host Ben Shephard. “Cat feels anxious ahead of her first day back after announcing the bombshell news of her split during her break,” the source said.

She wants to keep the chatty dialogue between her and Ben upbeat and positive for viewers by choosing not to mention her marriage’s breakdown on screen.
Cat and Patrick confirmed the separation in a joint statement, underscoring that “there is no other party involved,” but close friends claim that she has been quietly hurt by the media’s reaction, particularly in the wake of a deeply personal family event.
She has been hurt that, according to the source, “people who don’t even know her have judged her for attending her mother-in-law’s funeral in March.”
Even those who don’t know Patrick’s family and her inner circle have criticized her for that and claimed that this was the cause of the breakup, which is far from the truth.
It’s reportedly painful to think that she’s to blame for the marriage’s breakup.
Cat is generally a very optimistic person, but it hurts that people are blaming her for what both of them experience, the insider said.
Cat and Patrick have both stated that their main concern is still being able to co-parent their children despite the pressure.
We have decided to end our marriage, and we are now divorcing, according to their joint statement.
There is no other party involved, they say. We will continue to be one loving family, and we would ask that you respect our family’s privacy. No further comments will be made.
When Cat returns to her presenting role on This Morning, she is reportedly hoping that her divorce and personal life won’t be brought up when she appears on TV again.
