Cat Deeley walks off This Morning live on air after Ben Shephard’s ‘naughty’ jibe
Cat Deeley Exits ‘This Morning’ Set After Ben Shephard’s Joke
In an unexpected turn of events on live TV, ‘This Morning’ presenter Cat Deeley walked off the set on Wednesday, visibly upset by a joke from co-host Ben Shephard. The incident unfolded during a segment transition with Lorraine Kelly, where the hosts were previewing the day’s topics, including a discussion on open relationships.
As Lorraine commented dismissively about the topic, “I couldn’t be bothered,” Cat concurred, saying, “Me neither, Lorraine, that’s exactly what I said.” However, the atmosphere shifted when Ben quipped, “How do you fit it all in? That’s what I am going to ask,” linking it to a humorous yet inappropriate remark similar to one made in the previous day’s show.
This was in reference to an interview on Tuesday with a man claiming to have the biggest penis in Britain. Reacting to Ben’s remark, Cat abruptly left the set, leaving viewers and co-hosts in surprise as she did not take the joke lightly. Ben, caught off guard, could only remark, “Oh god, Ben Shephard, you are so naughty!” acknowledging his controversial humor.
Cat Deeley’s Light-Hearted Walk-Off on ‘This Morning’
Cat Deeley had reached her limit with co-host Ben Shephard’s playful banter, leading her to exclaim “Bye!” and stride off the set. Ben, left alone, humorously remarked, “This open relationship has just ended completely,” as laughter from Cat echoed in the background.
The playful atmosphere was similar to the previous day’s show, where Ben, Cat, and Scottish presenter Lorraine Kelly shared a laugh over a particularly well-endowed guest. After discussing the guest who claimed to have Britain’s largest penis, Lorraine teased Ben, saying, “Oh is that you?” followed by a bemused, “I don’t know what to say to that.”
During that interview, the guest, Matt Bar, aged 40, spoke candidly on the ‘This Morning’ couch about realizing he was unusually well-endowed during school showers after PE, a revelation that made him wish for normalcy due to his shyness.
Matt also shared the challenges he faces in dating due to his size, explaining the delicate balance of when to bring up such a personal topic: “It’s difficult because it’s not something you can just spring on people; it generally scares them away. But you also don’t want to be creepy and bring it up too early. How do you start that conversation?”
In a different segment last week, Cat shared her own personal challenges on live ITV, discussing a scary incident with migraines. She opened up about her struggles as the show highlighted a “miracle drug” promising relief from migraine attacks.
