THIS MORNING CHAOS: Viewers were left stunned as Cat Deeley suffered an unexpected mishap during a live cooking segment on This Morning

Cat Deeley has booked an appointment after damaging her tooth live on air. The presenter, 49, was at the helm of This Morning earlier this week when she bit into a toffee apple and had to consult her dentist for an appointment after it all went a little bit wrong.

‌Holding her mouth at the top of Thursday’s show, she updated viewers as she said: “It’s okay, it’s okay. I just can’t say Thursday. It’s absolutely fine. I’m going tomorrow to get an other appointment, I took the toffee apples from yesterday to parents’ evening. Their teeth, the young gnashers were fine, it’s the old ones.”

‌

A clip from yesterday’s show rolled where she was seen biting into a toffee apple and Ben reassured her that the ‘tooth fairy will come’ as she winced in pain.

‌

Speaking to her co-star Ben Shephard, she jokingly said: “You were so concerned, that’s what was so touching,” before he confirmed that she is to get it ‘re-bonded’ and sorted.

Yesterday, chef Elliott Grover was in the kitchen crafting the sweet treats in honour of Bonfire Night and as he handed one each to the presenters, he warned: “It’s not too hard so it won’t damage your teeth. Be careful”

‌

But Cat knew that she’d done some damage with her first bite as she used her tongue to feel around her mouth. Ben immediately asked: “Has that tooth gone a bit wobbly? It’s alright, the tooth fairy will come!”

Cat replied: “I’ve chipped my tooth!” as Ben laughed. It all comes just days after Cat was asked about the possibility of co-hosting a show with her ex-husband Patrick Kielty. Prior to the announcement of their split, the This Morning presenter revealed to hosts Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos that she was not keen on the idea of presenting the ITV show alongside Patrick.

She said: “There was question at the time as to whether my husband would do it, because he’s a stand-up comedian and he’s also a host too. So, everybody was saying oh is he going to do it with you as well and I was like ‘no thank you’.”

‌

Cat and Patrick first met while co-presenting the BBC talent show Fame Academy in 2002. They remained friends for many years until 2011, when Patrick flew to Los Angeles to attend Cat’s birthday brunch, turning their friendship into a romantic relationship. Less than a year later, they tied the knot in a beautiful ceremony in Rome.

Since then, the couple have welcomed two sons into their family, Milo born in 2016 and James arriving nearly two-and-a-half years later.

‌

However, after 13 years of marriage, they announced earlier this year that they would be parting ways. They issued a joint statement which read: “We have taken the decision to end our marriage and are now separated. There is no other party involved.”

The statement went on to say: “We will continue to be united as loving parents to our children and would therefore kindly ask for our family privacy to be respected. There will be no further comment.”

Aside from her personal life, Cat has been a constant fixture on our televisions over the past two decades, presenting shows such as Who Wants to Be a Millionaire, The One Show and most recently, This Morning.
