Cat Deeley cuts a sophisticated figure as she presents Unicef UK’s petition for a National Baby and Toddler Guarantee to Rishi Sunak at 10 Downing Street
Cat Deeley visited Number 10 Downing Street on Tuesday to deliver a petition from Unicef UK to Prime Minister Rishi Sunak.
The TV presenter, 46, looked elegant in a cream silk blouse paired with white flared trousers.
She was present to deliver an open letter for a national ‘Baby and Toddler Guarantee’.
The petition demands urgent action to ensure equal access to essential early childhood services for all babies and young children, wherever they live.
It has been signed by more than 66,000 members of the public and organizations including NSPCC and Save the Children UK.

Besides Cat, other celebrities who have thrown their support behind the campaign include Olivia Coleman, Ewan McGregor, Rita Ora and Andy Murray.
Jon Sparkes, CEO of Unicef UK, said: ‘Every child deserves a bright future, but as families recover from the impact of the pandemic and face unprecedented increases in the cost of living, this future is under threat.
‘Basic services such as doctor visits and mental health care provide essential support that households need in these turbulent times.
‘They should be there for every baby and young child during their crucial early years, but across the country this is not the case and urgent action is needed.’
The letter, addressed to the Prime Minister, says: ‘Families in Britain need your help now. The summer holidays are just around the corner and instead of looking forward to fun, carefree days, many families are faced with the worrying reality of not being able to put food on the table as they struggle to make ends meet.”
It comes after Cat gave a candid insight into motherhood last month when she shared a hilarious video of herself trying to enjoy a ‘peaceful’ day out with her brood.
Cat, who shares sons Milo, seven, and James, five, with husband Patrick Kielty, revealed she was accidentally punched in the face by her sons while taking part in a calming pottery session.
In the video, she was seen flinching when her overzealous son accidentally hit her cheek before their day out painting.

She captioned the clip: “Peace and pottery, but a little pain first… Typical day with the boys.”
She laughed, “They look me in the eye and say, ‘Mommy, let’s get pretty,’ and then they take everything off.
“Well, that’s not technically correct, but I like their positive body image.”
Cat has been married to Irish comedian Patrick, 52, since 2012 after they fell for each other during the Fame Academy presentation in 2002.
