How Cat Deeley's 'casual' and 'daring' dress sense is causing a stir with This Morning viewers as she takes a style departure from the traditionally buttoned-up breakfast host look
From knee-high boots, glamorous halternecks and risqué cut-out jumpers to silky blouses and wide-leg jeans... it's safe to say that Cat Deeley's This Morning wardrobe is quite different to her predecessor Holly Willoughby's. Prior to leaving her role of 14 years, Phillip Schofield 's co-star was famed for her eternally revolving wardrobe of demure dresses and cute pencil skirts - typically accompanied by tights and sophisticated heels. But Cat, 48, has ditched such formal styles and opted for a more relaxed approach. One of her first ensembles when joining Ben Shephard on the ITV Daytime show was a pair of skinny jeans, an almost unfathomable fashion faux pas during Holly's tenure. The stiletto heels were also ditched, with the Birmingham host leaving them to collect dust in the dressing room while she presented the show in knee-high leather boots. Viewers initially appeared to give such down-to-earth looks a positive thumbs up across social media, with one commenting: 'Love Cat's outfit, definitely a combo we can all relate to,' while another added: 'I'm liking Ben and Cat's more relaxed look...' However, lately, Cat's casual wardrobe has raised eyebrows as she embraces more revealing garments - including halternecks, one-shouldered tops and daring cut-outs. The adventurous looks are a far cry from the more formal attire usually sported by breakfast presenters, with the likes of Ruth Langsford, Alison Hammond and Lorraine Kelly preferring a uniform of midi dresses, blazers and smart blouses. On Monday, This Morning fans suggested Cat's outfit, featuring an elegant black, sleeveless top that was clasped together in a cross at the front paired with sleek red trousers, was more for a 'night out or a beach bar'. The TV star - who's married to presenter Patrick Kielty - accessorised with gold jewellery and wore her hair down in loose waves. However, the stylish outfit failed to impress some fans, who felt it looked 'unprofessional' for daytime programme. Taking to X, one viewer wrote: 'Cat obviously still in her clothes from a night out #thismorning,' while another added: 'Cat - you're not having a day at the beach love. Dress like a professional at work. #thismorning.' While someone else penned: 'Has Cat come straight from a beach bar? Bizarre choice of outfit #ThisMorning.' '#ThisMorning Cat looks like she's been out lol,' a fourth viewer wrote. Back in April, This Morning fans were once again left seriously distracted by Cat 's striking outfit. Many gasped 'what is she wearing?!' just minutes into the show as the 48-year-old and co-host Ben interviewed Deepa Paul, who has written a book about navigating her life with a husband and boyfriend. While Deepa opened up about her relationship to the pair on the sofa, many were left distracted by Cat's chosen footwear. The presenter opted for a white and green long-sleeved mini dress with a pair of tan-coloured Isabel Marant Lophie canvas knee-high boots folded down. Many rushed to X, formerly known as Twitter, to share their thoughts on chosen footwear. 'What is Cat wearing on her feet? #thismorning,' questioned one fan, while others asked: 'What are those?' and 'Why has Cat got paper bags tied around her ankles #thismorning.' 'I have just noticed Cat is wearing the Scarecrows boots from the Wizard of Oz! #thismorning,' another person joked. Cat was last seen wearing the shoes on the programme during an episode in May 2024. The star looked incredible in a stylish cargo minidress and quirky rope knee high boots as she hosted the show. It's not the first time that fans have rushed to social media to discuss Cat's outfit choices. The previous month, viewers claimed the TV star was 'showing more skin than usual' as she sported a stylish knitted £29.50 M&S off-the-shoulder top with wide-legged trousers. One unimpressed fan posted on X: 'Will someone dress Cat with decent clothing.' Another said: 'Cat, straighten your top.' Just weeks before that others pointed out her striking two-piece androgynous suit, which she wore with a white shirt and a grey tie with a pearly white pin. Viewers initially appeared to give such down-to-earth looks a positive thumbs up across social media, with one commenting: 'Love Cat's outfit, definitely a combo we can all relate to,' while another added: 'I'm liking Ben and Cat's more relaxed look...' The presenter pictured wearing a white and green long-sleeved mini dress with a pair of tan coloured Isabel Marant Lophie canvas knee-high boots folded down Cat's low-budget wardrobe has been praised by fans; on one of the presenter's Instagram posts of her outfits, which she captioned with the hashtag 'Cat's Closet', a viewer commented: 'Love your looks, a lot more affordable than others'. The statement ensemble divided opinions, with one person writing online: 'Has Cat got a job interview later?,' while another said: 'Who on earth is styling Cat Deeley?! #ThisMorning.' However, not everyone was against the outfit, as they took to X to applaud her look. 'Blimey! Cat means business this morning #thismorning,' wrote one fan. 'Can Cat Deeley wear suits more on This Morning please', insisted another, while a third added: 'I'm obviously in the minority, but think Cat looks great in her suit. Love that look and she carries it off beautifully'. Even Cat's co-star Ben has previously questioned the host's wardrobe after she appeared on screen in March last year wearing a pair of brown floral printed flared trousers, which he compared to 'an old sofa.' Speaking ahead of her show, Lorraine cut to the This Morning studio to ask what they had coming up. Ben joked: 'Can we just enjoy the extraordinariness of Cat Deeley's trousers today? She's gone into her mum's caravan and nicked the curtains!' 'That's so rude, we're not making Sound of Music, you know!' she hit back. 'We could, though!' Ben responded. Later on Ben took the opportunity to compare Cat's trousers to a sofa, with some viewers agreeing. One fan even insisted on X: 'Sack the stylist. Cat's outfit is horrendous.' Unlike Holly, who used her private stylist Danielle Whiteman on the show, Cat uses ITV's own fashion experts David O'Brien and Rachael Hughes, who have also dressed her co-stars Josie Gibson and Alison Hammond. While her predecessor favoured designer items, Cat has won fans over by wearing brands such as Zara and John Lewis . Holly and her stylist have worked together for years and Ms Whiteman now helps the TV star's lifestyle brand Wylde Moon. During her 14 years on This Morning, Holly would regularly wear clothing from the likes of Ted Baker, LK Bennett and Jaeger. But Cat's low-budget wardrobe has been praised by fans; on one of the presenter's Instagram posts of her outfits, which she captioned with the hashtag 'Cat's Closet', a viewer commented: 'Love your looks, a lot more affordable than others'.

Ruth Langsford's savvy 'upside-down' salad trick explained
Loose Women star Ruth Langsford shared her 'upside-down salad' recipe with fans last year Ruth Langsford has taken to Instagram to share her ingenious 'upside-down salad' technique with followers. The 65-year-old Loose Women presenter divulged how her knack for stacking ingredients not only prolongs the salad's crispness but also prevents a dreary, soggy texture. In an Instagram post from September, Ruth provided a simple guide for putting together this creative salad with nine key ingredients. "So, now I'm going to make what I call my 'upside-down salad'," she said at the time, according to SurreyLive. "So, basically, I put everything in layers in one of these [glass tubs], which means that when I tip it out, the lettuce is on the bottom and everything else that I want is in layers. Anyway, you get the gist. "So, basically I put kitchen roll in the bottom [of the tub] because then any kind of juices from the tomatoes and cucumber soak a bit into that, so the whole salad doesn't get soggy. So, that's the gist, and let me show you how I do it." Kicking off her salad assembly, Ruth commenced by chopping a variety of little tomatoes along with onions, unperturbed by the tomatoes' minor squishiness as she combined them. She continued: "Tuna on top of that. "I like tuna in olive oil, maybe a bit more calorific, but I don't care because I love the taste. One hard-boiled egg, you can put them the other way around, so that when you tip it up the yolks' pointing up at you. It doesn't really matter. "Then some avocado, this is a bit brown, because I actually chopped it last night to use for something else and forgot it. It's been in the fridge, it's a bit brown, but it's fine because it will be covered in salad dressing. "Black olives, if you like them, I love them. There's the cucumber - I scraped the seeds out because they are very wet and watery and will make that [salad] go soggy. Cucumber in, and then all I've got to do now is put the lettuce on." Ruth presented her packed lunch to the viewers, displaying the colourful layers of her homemade salad creation. To complete the ensemble, she lavishly poured her treasured Brianna's Honey Mustard Dressing, a delightful extra flavour. "There you go! That's tomorrow's upside-down salad," she concluded, while adding in the video caption: "I take this to work most days….stops me grabbing unhealthy, processed food. "Even when you make a healthy choice and buy a salad, in my experience, they're mostly leaves!! This way you get a good, decent portion salad and you get to put all the things you like in it!" In addition to its delicious taste, Ruth's layered salad contains an impressive collection of 'superfoods', which are often defined as nutrient-rich foods considered beneficial for health and well-being. For instance, a 2024 study from the University of Bristol revealed that men who ate over 10 portions of tomatoes a week saw an 18% decrease in their risk of developing prostate cancer. Nutritionist Helen Bell from Help & Advice acknowledged this during a conversation with the Mirror, noting that cooking tomatoes could enhance their protective effects. "There is evidence suggesting that tomatoes might lower prostate cancer risk, largely due to lycopene," she said. "This antioxidant is thought to reduce inflammation and prevent cancer cell growth. When I've looked into it, cooking tomatoes seems to increase lycopene availability, so enjoying them in sauces or soups might be particularly beneficial." Moreover, health experts frequently praise avocados for their abundant omega-3 content, crucial fats for brain and heart well-being. Experts at the US-based University of Rochester Medical Centre previously explain ed: "Omega-3s are a helpful and important form of fat. Your body needs it but can't make it. Your body needs 2 forms of omega fatty acids. "These are omega-3 and omega-6. Omega-3 is the most important. Experts believe that omega-3s help prevent coronary heart disease (CHD) in healthy people. They also believe omega-3s can slow progress of the disease in those who already have it."
