Now photos show This Morning host Cat, 48, without her ring on her wedding finger.
The TV presenter has instead swapped it onto her right hand, in a nod to this new chapter of her life.
Cat was spotted without the bling on her left hand while stepping out to run errands in a very chic outfit.
She had a crisp white shirt on and denim jeans, and wore her hair down in loose waves.
The mum-of-two clutched onto her purse while out and about near the former couple's marital home.
Cat looked sunkissed following her recent trip to Spain with a hairdresser pal.
The star was seen out for dinner with a male friend in Sitges, Spain on August 2 - just days after she and Patrick, 54, split.
Onlookers told the Daily Mail how the presenter looked 'crestfallen' during the 'difficult time'.
The snaps obtained by the publication show Cat without her wedding ring as she and hairdresser pal Ben Skervin tucked into dinner at restaurant Chiringuito de Garraf.
Patrick Kielty 'didn't feel like an equal partner' in failed marriage to Cat Deeley - admitting 'rough patches' they had to work through
Ben is a celebrity hairstylist and has worked with the likes of the Spice Girls, Mariah Carey and Madonna.
A fellow diner said: 'Cat looked a bit down and a touch crestfallen, not her usual spritely self, which is understandable given her marriage split.
'Her accent was recognisable to a number of Brits at the restaurant, which is popular with celebrities, and she had interacted with a few British kids also dining there
'She clearly needed to be around her nearest and dearest during such a difficult time.'
Cat was a no-show at the funeral of Patrick's mother in March, his family 'knew the marriage was over'.
One said: 'Whatever rockiness was going on in the marriage, something as momentous as his mother's funeral, you would make up even temporarily and just put your 'best face' on as we say in Northern Ireland.
"Cat obviously knew how close Patrick was to Mary and she should have come to be by his side, a hand on his shoulder as he buried his mother.
'The fact that she stayed in London and presented This Morning on the day, it's not been forgotten.
At the time of Mary's funeral, Cat insisted she'd stayed in London to be with their sons Milo, seven, and James, five.A spokesman for Cat told the Mail: "Cat remained at home to be there for her two young children before and after school on this very sad day."

TV fans predict 'Inbetweeners reunion' after stars tease new project
Fans of The Inbetweeners have been begging for a reunion of the Noughties comedy series since it came to an end in 2010—and some new photos have given everyone fresh hope. Starring Simon Bird, Joe Thomas, James Buckley, and Blake Harrison, The Inbetweeners became one of Channel 4's most successful shows of its era. Set in suburban southern England, The Inbetweeners focused on the hilarious and painfully awkward love lives (or lack thereof) of four ordinary boys in sixth form college. It ran for three seasons, produced 18 episodes in total, spawned two sequel films, and is still one of the most popular British comedy shows of all time. Such is the extent of its popularity in Britain that fans have begged for a reunion episode for 10 years now, following the release of The Inbetweeners Movie 2 in 2014. So, when one cast member took to Instagram with a cryptic post, it's safe to say he set the comments alight. On his social media, James teased that he and Joe are 'working on something', giving no further details to excited fans. The post was accompanied by a series of pictures of James and Joe, who dressed up in different outfits for a photoshoot and showed fans behind-the-scenes images of the get-together. Naturally, the comments section reacted anything but calmly to the post. MostlyEnders commented, 'Inbetweeners 3?' while Johnoo1992 demanded, 'We need an Inbetweeners reunion'. SkylarRossFelton said they 'couldn't wait' for a potential Inbetweeners 3, while JamesKeeleyy is also 'waiting' not-so patiently. Following the end of The Inbetweeners, stars Joe and James worked together on the sitcom White Gold, which followed a crew of window salesmen in 1980s Essex. White Gold ran for two seasons between 2017 and 2019 before it was axed by the BBC, with James admitting in 2020 he had no idea the show had been cancelled. Some fans who stayed with the lads until White Gold predicted that the window sales comedy would be making a return following the Insta pics, with that being the most recent project James and Joe worked on together. MichaelParkerus was clear about what he wants: 'I don't care if it's good [or bad], I'll watch anything that supports you four getting back together.' Since then, the four stars of The Inbetweeners have all been working on separate things, with the 2019 Fwends Reunited show still the last time any of them worked together. The reunion show was panned by fans, sadly, as people had expected the talk show to be a one-off sequel episode. Out of all the cast, though, work-wise, it looks like James and Joe are the closest, as this is not the first time they have worked on a new project in 2025, with the two teaming up for an Oasis-themed sketch in aid of Comic Relief. The sketch – titled Oasis: The Reunion – followed efforts to get the feuding brothers back on stage together and starred Martin Lewis as an accountant. More Trending Joe revealed last year that he, James, Simon, and Blake have all discussed the possibility of an Inbetweeners comeback, adding that they think it would be a 'nice thing to do'. 'We're all still around; we're all still in each other's lives. We all still like each other, and if it was something that came up, I think we would want to do it,' he said. View More » Joe continued: 'I feel like we all still really like each other. We've all been able to go away and get various monkeys off our backs, in terms of things that we felt we needed to do other than The Inbetweeners to prove something to ourselves.' Got a story?

Inside the world's LARGEST cruise ship as Royal Caribbean's Star of the Seas prepares for its maiden voyage
Royal Caribbean is a veteran in the realm of voyage holidays - and it recently unveiled its new crowning glory. The Star of the Seas is a 20-deck, 1,196-foot long vessel that accommodates a staggering 5,610 guests at a time - earning it the title of world's largest cruise ship. 'The world's best family vacation turns up the volume on family fun with unbelievable thrills, chill and wows for the whole crew,' the company proudly states. In addition to 'six record-breaking waterslides and a fear-inducing challenge high,' the ship also boasts 'seven unique pools' and more than '40 ways to dine and drink'. Daily Mail was invited aboard for an exclusive three-night preview excursion from Orlando, Florida, to the company's own resort in the Bahamas ahead of The Star's official maiden voyage on August 31 - and the new cruise offering was staggering. Tickets for the seven-night Western Caribbean adventure - beyond its maiden voyage for which prices are inflated - start at $1,272 per person ($2,544 per room) for the most 'budget-friendly option.' The 'Interior' room is compact with no window of its own and is not suitable for those who get easily claustrophobic. However, The Star's most popular room option is the 'Balcony' offering - coming in at $1,514 per person ($3,027 per room) - which offers sweeping views of the ocean for a true experience out at sea. Various other options are available - all the way through to a luxury $11,926 for a Royal Suite - but every offering appears to have the necessities covered. But is The Star really worth the price tag? The most striking thing about Royal Caribbean's new vessel is its size. It dominated Port Canaveral in Orlando even before setting sail, with approaching passengers struck by its overwhelming proportions from the outset. It protruded high into the skyline and later comfortably dwarfed one of its sister ships - Symphony of the Seas - when docked. The Star's most popular room option is the 'Balcony' offering - coming in at $1,514 per person ($3,027 per room) - does offer sweeping views of the ocean for a true experience at sea The size - although visually impressive - does have its downsides. The amount of walking required to navigate from front to back as well as up and down was not lost on passengers. And the distances, along with the addition of corridors being long and slightly too narrow for maneuvering around each other with ease, left some, including myself, feeling drained. For example, the walk to the main Dining Hall on Deck 3 from a room on Deck 10 took five minutes (and 19 seconds) from door to door - not exactly grueling but a little impractical. Casual lift discussions as early as day two heard one passenger joke: 'My feet are sweating' and 'I think I've got blisters already.' There are two lift lobbies - one at either end of the ship - but wait times often proved to be longer than hoped and may only be further delayed when The Star reaches full capacity. But it isn't all bad. The monstrous size does mean there is a lot packed on board to keep almost all passengers busy. The Star is proudly presenting itself as having 'adventures for all ages' as it attempts to keep up with the shift in demographic of cruise passengers, which has evolved in recent years. While it used to be a market for retired customers (65 years and older), the average age of cruisers was 46.7 in 2018. And, in an updated report about cruise passenger age groups in 2024, shockingly the largest proportion of customers were aged 20 to 39. Just 33 percent were over 60 years old, 31 percent were between the ages of 40 and 59, and 36 percent were 39 or under, according to State of the Cruise Industry Report 2025. Entertainment on The Star is wide ranging and includes a stage show of Back to the Future as well as others featuring magic, comedy, ice skating and aqua stunts. Despite the latter being plagued with several technical issues before being pulled completely for the evening during the preview voyage, it is clear that Royal Caribbean has spared no expense for all of its on-board performances. For those who wish to enjoy adventure on their own time, there are several pools, jacuzzis and water slides - as well as a surfing machine, mini golf, games arcade and basketball court to name just a few of the amenities. One unfortunate realization was the pools are mostly very shallow - or featured sunken bar stools and tables - meaning none were appropriate for anyone hoping to go for a proper swim. Most were also tightly packed throughout the day and nabbing a sun lounger nearby often took some negotiation - a scene presumably going to get even busier when the ship does reach full capacity. Finding an appropriate spot to leave valuables or clothes poolside was also tricky and perhaps many would have benefitted from having a bank of lockers near each hotspot rather than the open cubbyholes for shoes and towels. Eateries and bars are also packed on board in abundance, with The Star boasting more than 40 across a range of cuisines from American to Thai to Mediterranean. 'The world's vest family vacation turns up the volume on family fun with unbelievable thrills, chill and wows for the whole crew,' the company site reads upon booking It is essential for guests to keep up with the opening and closing times - which differ across the establishments - at the risk of trekking across the ship only to realize the preferred restaurant has in fact closed for the evening. Many are complimentary or 'help-yourself' food bars but others require reservations well in advance. As an example, Chop Grille, which prides itself on its steak, was a pre-booked restaurant and every table was packed full of guests. The food came out promptly - and cooked to perfection - but one noticeable quirk about the eatery was that there were no restrooms inside. Despite it presenting as a fully-functioning independent restaurant in every imaginable way, guests requiring the bathroom had to leave entirely and walk back to the communal toilets located around the elevator lobby. It was a small (and slightly inconvenient) peculiarity that was echoed around the rest of the ship. The dining and drinking spots throughout the ship were reasonably priced but, notably, the Starbucks on board had the most consistent daily queues. The Star is set to become one of the most popular cruise ships of the future but that does not mean it has not suffered its own setbacks. Back in June, Diana Ross was named as Godmother for The Star - a role that is steeped in maritime tradition. In modern day, cruise lines often choose women who embody inspiration, achievement, and global appeal. Royal Caribbean has previously selected stars such as Oprah Winfrey and Whoopi Goldberg. Ross, who recently finished a UK arena tour, told People at the time of being named: 'I've always felt a deep connection to the ocean and the magic it represents - peace, adventure and awe. When Royal Caribbean reached out to invite me to be the godmother of Star of the Seas, I knew it was something truly special. 'The family has been invited and all the grandkids. That's really what this ship is all about joy and family fun.' But Royal Caribbean suffered a blow just last week when Ross, 81, suddenly stepped down from her role. The hitmaker's representative stated that she will no longer be able to appear on the showcase cruise due to 'unforeseen circumstances.' A Royal Caribbean spokesperson has since said it is 'disappointed' but that The Star will announce a new godmother soon. So, as many are already looking ahead for what's coming next in the industry, Daily Mail wonders if ships should really get any bigger. Perhaps The Star should be allowed to keep its title indefinitely.
