This Morning host Cat Deeley fell backwards and hit the deck in the ITV studio while attempting a viral TikTok trend, with her co-host Ben Shephard trying his best to help her
Poor Cat Deeley landed on her bottom when a This Morning segment went badly wrong.
The beloved presenter fell backwards and hit the deck in the ITV studio on Tuesday (November 5) after while trying to attempt a popular TikTok trend with co-host Ben Shephard. Cat was trying to mimic a lift seen on Strictly and Dancing with the Stars.
The move, which American footballer Danny Amendola pulled off on the US talent show, sees the dancer pull herself off of the floor using core strength and a hand from her partner. Cat and Ben weren’t afraid to try the move, but unfortunately it didn’t go to plan.
However, once Cat was close to Ben’s chest, the duo didn’t seem to know what to do next and Cat lost her balance, and she tumbled to the floor despite Ben’s best efforts to catch her.
Ben couldn’t help giggling as he revealed the TikTok blunder at the start of the show on Tuesday (November 5). He asked Cat: “Quick health check. Are you Okay?”.
Cat replied: “I am but barely, by the skin of my teeth. I’m far too old to be doing this kind of thing.” Viewers then got to see the clip of Cat and Ben trying the move and failing miserably.
Admitting they’d tried the move more than once, Ben explained: “This was our, I don’t know, 78th attempt. We got a little stuck, then… No Cats were hurt in the making of that film.”
Ben added: “There were a few other outtakes that will probably stay on the internet, it’ll be safer. But it’s OK, we’re alright.” Suggesting there had been some other blunders, Cat quipped: “I don’t know about other, regions…”
