This Morning’s fixed host alongside Ben Shepherd, received backlash online from viewers after making a joke about having a seizure.During a segment in which she and Shepherd were welcoming viewers back after a break, and introducing singer Meghan Trainor, Deeley began dancing to Trainor’s hit track ‘All About That Bass’.When the cameras panned towards the presenters to cue their dialogue, Deeley said: “Nothing to see here,” as she stopped dancing.
When Shepherd asked her if she was OK, Deeley replied: “Yeah I’m fine. Just having a seizure. Welcome back.”Many viewers took to social media to express their disapproval, with one writing on X: “People die from seizures and epilepsy is a life threatening condition and I am so appalled at Cat Deeley and This Morning for airing this, there needs to be more awareness for epilepsy”.Another wrote: “When we have celebrities making inappropriate remarks and references about epilepsy, is it any wonder some people with a diagnosis are afraid of stigma and misunderstanding?
Need some awareness training @catdeeley @ITV? It’s inappropriate and offensive.”hey everyone!
