‘Part timers!’ rant This Morning fans as Ben and Cat reveal it’s their ‘last day’ before HUGE summer break
THIS Morning fans fumed as Ben Shephard and Cat Deeley revealed it’s their ‘last day’ before their HUGE summer break.
The pair made the announcement at the end of today’s instalment of the ITV breakfast show.
Cat and Ben present This Morning every Monday to Thursday, and Alison Hammond and Dermot O’Leary are hosts for the Friday instalment each week.
The two will now be off for eight weeks to enjoy the sunshine.
Cat told viewers: “Alison and Dermot will be here tomorrow.
“That’s all from us for a few weeks…
“But we’ll be back in September!”
Many took to X, formerly known as Twitter, to share their shock.
One said on the platform: “Back in September?? Its July 11th…. ITS ONLY THE 11th of Julypart timers basically got TWO months off work what a Joke!! #ThisMorning.”
Another pointed out: “Ben and Cat only joined #ThisMorning back in April of this year.”
A third chime in: “Ben and Cat doing a Phil & Holly and breaking up for the summer very early, which is only a good thing. Alison & Dermot, Dermot & Rochelle, Craig & Josie, Josie & Rylan, Rylan & Rochelle, Joel & Rochelle and Craig & Sian the summer line up.”
Ben and Cat joined the show on Monday, March 11, 2024 after being announced as the new presenters on February 16.
They took over the roles from Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield – who usually returned to their role in the first week of September.
But fans don’t need to worry as some favourites will be returning t o the sofa.
There are some familiar faces who will be on our screens over the summer.
Alison and Dermot, Dermot and Rochelle Humes, Josie Gibson and Craig Doyle, Rosie and Rylan Clark, Joel Dommett and Rochelle, and Sian Welby and Craig are some of the duos.
The show’s official Twitter page shared a video of them all with the caption: “As the weather warms up, and the sun shines, here’s an exclusive look at who’ll be keeping you company this summer on #ThisMorning!”
