Cat Deeley teased a “huge exclusive” on the latest episode of This Morning, leaving fans eager for more, though she confirmed the big reveal wouldn’t happen until the following day. On Wednesday, February 26, Cat returned to the ITV morning show alongside host Ben Shephard for another busy broadcast.
Near the end of the programme, the 48-year-old presenter shared a tantalizing piece of news, hinting at an exclusive that was too big to discuss. “Plus we’ve got an exclusive so huge, we can’t even talk about it,” she said. Ben then chimed in, asking if the exclusive was related to something featured earlier in the show. Cat responded, “We’ll reveal all tomorrow,” leaving viewers eagerly anticipating more details, as reported by Wales Online.
However, the teaser came amid growing criticism of This Morning, with many viewers expressing their dissatisfaction with the show’s recent content. Social media was abuzz with complaints, with some fans declaring they were “boycotting the show” after yet another lackluster episode.
Critics pointed to segments like the focus on weight loss injections and a jigsaw competition as being uninspired. The puzzle challenge featured two professional puzzlers racing against the clock to complete a complex jigsaw, which many viewers found uninteresting.
Other segments on the show, including a demonstration of cleaning products by a gadget expert and a simple six-ingredient banoffee pie recipe by chef Donal Skehan, did little to alleviate viewer frustration. Some viewers suggested that the producers had “run out of ideas” and questioned whether This Morning had lost its charm. “It’s no wonder people are switching off, and #thismorning is no longer winning awards!” one viewer wrote, while another added, “#ThisMorning F jigsaws! They’ve run out of material, haven’t they?”
Despite the criticism, not all viewers were dismayed. The mood shifted when actor Stephen McGann, known for his role in Call The Midwife, appeared on the show to chat with Ben and Cat. “Stephen McGann is looking very well. God love him,” one fan commented, while another shared, “This morning, Oh, I learnt something new today; his wife writes it #callthemidwife.”
While the show continues to draw mixed reactions, the promise of the “huge exclusive” for the following day has left many wondering if This Morning can regain its sparkle and win back the viewers who have begun to switch off.
