Patrick Kielty's wife Cat Deeley shares 'shock' on visit to London home

Cat Deeley has told of her shock as she paid a visit to her and husband Patrick Kielty's London home this week.

The TV couple are currently revamping their luxurry London home in Fulham ahead of Kielty’s RTE Late Late Show debut in September.

Earlier this week, Cat visited the couple's pad which is currently undergoing major construction and updated her Instagram followers on her 'shock' at what she arrived to see.

She told her followers: “Not going to lie. Got a bit of a shock today. Not much house, lots of air.”

The star then posted a video of workers at her home, reports Irish Mirror.

Patrick and Cat lived in Los Angeles for many years, before putting their house on the market for €2.3M when they decided to relocate to the UK.

The house was stunning with a home gym, a pool, an office and a spa.

But it is believed that they chose to come home to the UK in order to be closer to Cat's family, but in an interview with Stella Magazine in July 2019, Cat recalled an incident in which her husband and eldest son were caught up in a shooting, and admitted that American gun laws had made her consider leaving the US for good.

"Things change when you have children and when you think Trump may get in for a second term," she explained.

"But then over here we've got Brexit. If we moved to Ireland, there's the border situation. It's all a bit of a mess right now."

Their home renovations come as Kielty revealed he will earn €250,000 for 30 weeks hosting the Late Late Show, with a once off payment of €20,000 for rehearsals and pre-production.

The star also revealed he has waived €50,000 and will cover the cost of his own flights and accommodation.

In a statement, he said: “I'm pleased to finally be able to share that I've signed a three-season deal to host The Late Late Show beginning this September.

"I'm being paid €250,000 per 30 show season. If additional shows are requested by RTÉ, they'll be paid on a pro-rata basis.

"I'm also receiving a one-off payment of €20,000 to cover the pre-production and rehearsals from now to September.

"The contract allows me to submit flight and accommodation expenses, but I've waived this. I've made it clear to RTÉ that I will be covering my own flights and accommodation costs.

"I've also asked RTÉ to carbon offset my flights.

"I genuinely hope this helps clarify things going forward. I can't wait to get started."
