Cat Deeley is heading back to America after This Morning gig

Cat Deeley is going stateside once more

The 47-year-old stepped into Holly Willoughby's shoes after her shocking departure, playing host alongside Rylan Clark and Craig Doyle.

It wasn't the first time that the TV personality hosted 'This Morning'. She first presented the show around 20 years ago alongside Paul O'Grady on Cilla Black's 60th birthday.

The show is now expected to undergo a revamp after Holly quit following reports that a man planned to kidnap and murder her.

Her exit came five months after Philip Schofield's departure after his affair with a young male showrunner was made public.

Though she only filled the gap for three days in November, viewers grew fond of her appearing on their screens.

Fans were holding out hope that she may be offered a permanent position on the programme but alas they were left heartbroken.

Variety reported that the dance competition has been renewed for season 18 and will return on March 4th with Cat set to return to her hosting duties.

The Sun previously reported 'This Morning' bosses thought Cat might be able to help "steady the ship" amid the drama surrounding the show.

A source said: "She takes live TV in her stride and is really witty and personable with guests. She's comfortable interviewing both pop stars and politicians. Cat would be a safe captain to steady the ship."

Cat later said in an interview with Closer Magazine, that her time on the breakfast show was a "once off".

"I'm going to LA for six days soon and then I'll have loads of promo for my new show in January, so we'll have to see anything more comes of it," she said.

"It was great fun, but we don't know what's going to happen,."
