JOSIE TO REPLACE CAT?

It's only been a year since Cat Deeley started her job as main host on This Morning alongside Ben Shephard, but could her time on the show be coming to an end already?

Despite her extensive presenting experience, Cat's journey on the hit ITV daytime show has been rocky to say the least, with viewing figures plunging from a million for her first appearance with Ben to just half that in the space of two months.

Cat, 48, has received harsh criticism from some viewers, who have branded her 'dull', and now they're even calling for Josie Gibson to replace her, with one recently commenting, 'Let's be honest it should have been Josie doing the full-time show with Ben. Not Cat Deeley.' And a source tells Woman's Own, 'There's no doubt Cat Deeley is a seasoned pro, but This Morning thrives on a sense of familiarity and warmth and some viewers feel she hasn't quite slotted into that dynamic yet. She has been a safe and reliable face, who has steered the This Morning ship out of choppy waters, but now the show is in a different place and her role within it is perhaps starting to look redundant.'
