Cat Deeley RETURNS to LA to resume work on So You Think You Can Dance as she hits the red carpet for press junket… after wildly successful This Morning hosting debut

She had a hugely successful stint on This Morning last month.

Yet Cat Deeley swapped ITV day for the bright lights of Hollywood on Wednesday as she attended the FOX Winter Junket 2023 at Fox Studio Lot ahead of hosting the 18th series of So You Think You Can Dance.

The star, 47, who has hosted the show since 2006, wowed in a knitted romper with a belted waist and a sky-high hemline, which acted to show off her lithe legs.

Her signature flawless locks were teased into bouncy, voluminous curls in perfectly accentuated honey tones, while she added a smokey eye and neutral lip.

Cat's return to LA comes after This Morning fans hoped she could be a permanent replacement for Holly Willoughby on the ITV show.

Cat delighted viewers when she presented This Morning for three days in November alongside Rylan Clark and Craig Doyle.

However, anyone hoping to see more of the TV star on the daytime show following Holly's departure in October may be left disappointed.

Earlier this month it was revealed that long-time presenter Cat was returning to US reality TV show So You Think You Can Dance, Variety reported.

The dance competition has been renewed for season 18 and returns on March 4 with new judges Alison Holker – who first met her late husband Stephen 'tWitch' Boss when they were all-stars on season 7 of the Fox show – and Maksim Chmerkovskiy .

Cat's This Morning hosting duties came after she first presented the show alongside Paul O'Grady at Cilla Black's 60th birthday about 20 years ago.

The show is now expected to undergo a revamp after Holly quit. Her departure came five months after the departure of Philip Schofield, after his affair with a young male showrunner was made public.
