Ahead of today’s episode, ITV’s continuity announcer said that both Cat and Ben would be hosting today’s episode. However, following the opening sequence, viewers were welcomed by Ben and Irish presenter Angela.
While Ben didn’t specify where Cat was, he shared a statement implying she would be away for a couple of days, telling people at home that Angela would be his “play date”.
Ben asked Angela how her half-term was, to which she described it as a “boxing match”. However, she clarified and described it as a “lovely, cuddly boxing match”.
Angela shares two children – daughters Ruby Ellen, seven, and Marnie Fae, four – with her husband, Roy Horgan, whom she married in 2014.
She noted it is Ruby’s eighth birthday tomorrow (February 25).
