Cat Deeley gasps ‘I might actually cry' as she learns her ‘biological age' live on This Morning - revealing VERY unhealthy habit after ‘nightmare' string of tests
Cat Deeley gasped when she learned her 'biological age' live on This Morning and revealed a particularly unhealthy habit.
Presenter duo Ben Shephard and Cat hosted Thursday's instalment of the ITV show and sat down with Dr Alka Patel.
The pair had undergone a series of tests to determine their 'biological age', which refers to the physiological state of someone's body.
Cat, whose chronological age is 48, revealed it had been a 'nightmare' for her and opened up about her habit of not sleeping very well.
'So this was a nightmare for me, Zoe had to attempt it twice, I'm a terrible sleeper, but I'm very healthy, I eat healthy, I drink loads of water I do yoga,' she said.
As the numbers ticked down to 33, Cat looked pleasantly surprised and gasped: 'I might cry, I might actually, am I 33?'
'15 years younger!' the expert exclaimed.
'Wow, I don't know how I've done it because I certainly don't sleep and that's one of the most import factors isn't it,' Cat gasped.
Dr Alka replied: 'Remember everything works together, I call it bio-synchronology, everything works together in time so all the great things that you are doing, the yoga, the stress relief, the breathing, the drinking, all of that is incredible.
'Now you've got to think to yourself, 33, I love that, I've got more years ahead of me, what do I need to do to keep it that way...'
Meanwhile Ben, whose chronological age is 50, was not so impressed with his biological result of 46.
He exclaimed: '46? is that it? I'm quite surprised by that, I think I look after myself, I get a decent amount of sleep, train really hard, I feel fit and healthier than I've probably ever felt in my life chronologically.
'I'm really fascinated by the idea that it's just four years.'
Dr Alka advised the presenter to 'be more Goldilocks' and ensure he does 'not too much, not too little but just the right amount,' explaining he might be 'going too hard'.
But ben doubled down: 'For me, the health and wellness is much more important for me mentally rather than how I feel with the physical side of things.'
Dr Alka replied: 'Remember everything works together, I call it bio-synchronology, everything works together in time so all the great things that you are doing, the yoga, the stress relief, the breathing, the drinking, all of that is incredible.
Elsewhere in the same episode, Cat and Ben interviewed three women who identify as witches.
All three post about their magical activities on TikTok and Emma explained: 'I think because the word 'witch' people are scared of it because of the movies, and I think now people are looking at it as a form of wellness and good for their emotions and inner calmness.
'It's really beautiful to see younger generations, especially Holly's age stepping into witchcraft and sharing their magic.'
This Morning airs weekdays on ITV1 from 10am and is available to stream on ITVX.
