Cat Deeley returned to the This Morning studio on Monday (June 1) with co-host Ben Shephard, and while many fans were excited to see her back on daytime TV, her outfit quickly became the talk of social media.
For her first show of the week, Cat stunned in a mustard-coloured top paired with matching shorts from Sezane, featuring a crisp white collar and shorts that stopped just above her knees — perfectly showcasing her famously long legs. She completed the look with cream Dune London flats, a delicate gold necklace, and her blonde locks styled in bouncy waves. Ben looked sharp in a navy polo and grey chinos, making them a picture-perfect hosting duo.
But not everyone was a fan. Viewers took to X to share their opinions — and they didn’t hold back. One joked: “Cat, the 1970s called — they want their outfit back.” Another quipped: “Has Cat lost her trousers?” Others criticized the practicality of the look: “That’s the trouble with linen, Cat, it really creases up.” One particularly blunt comment read: “For God’s sake, Cat, wear something more appropriate for sitting down in front of a camera on daytime TV — you’re not 17 anymore.”

Cat’s return came after a short break for half-term. During her time off, she shared glimpses of a relaxing getaway, posting an Instagram Story from a stunning beach in a sun-soaked location with the playful caption: “Seafaring Captain’s and a Salty Seadog!”
Whether loved or criticized, Cat certainly made an impression on her first day back — and the conversation online shows she’s still one of the most talked-about faces on daytime television.
