This Morning's new host Cat Deeley forced to apologise for blunder during show debut
ok.co.ukThis Morning's new host Cat Deeley was forced to apologise for a huge blunder during her hosting debut alongside Ben Shephard on Monday, 11 March.
The 47 year old presenter made her debut as the new permanent host of the show with Ben, 49, after previous hosts Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby stepped down last year.
However, Cat suffered an unfortunate mishap as she read out the number for the phone-in, as she missed out a zero, reading out '0800' rather than '08000'.
She was quickly corrected by Ben, as she apologised for her blunder, and said she must have had the number for ChildLine in her head, as she said: "That's where I'm getting it from." As the show opened, the pair were happily chatting before turning to camera where Cat said: "We are so excited to be here." And Ben added he was feeling "giddy" as the show began.The pair received a message from Ant McPartlin who gave Ben some advice on working with Cat.
