The show, also featured on National Geographic, highlights the touching story of Molly and her journey in the scenic Shetlands. However, fans were upset when Cat shared significant plot points from the series, which she had watched with her children.

Displeased fans took to social media to express their frustration. According to the Mirror, One viewer lamented, “So Cat’s spoilt then #thismorning,” while another sarcastically wrote, “Thanks for the spoiler, Cat. Tell the whole story of the otter…..#ThisMorning.” A third exclaimed, “THANKS CAT… just spoiled the whole story for everyone ffs! #thismorning.”

Despite the backlash, some viewers appreciated the story’s charm, with one commenting, “Googling ‘moving to Shetland’ as we speak #ThisMorning,” and another admiring the peaceful scenery, saying, “It looks incredibly peaceful there; I’m ever so slightly jealous.”

During the segment, Cat shared her sons’ reactions to the series, telling Dermot: “My boys were like, ‘he’s made her a ball pit, it’s amazing’.” She went on to reveal more plot points, including, “She also meets a boy otter called Bozzo and has a baby,” leaving some viewers surprised and others annoyed by the spoilers.

Billy, the focus of the documentary, recounted his first encounter with Molly. He noticed her eating a crab and was surprised she didn’t run away when he approached. “Curiosity got the better of me, and I decided to see how close I could get,” he recalled. Realizing she was emaciated but not unhealthy, Billy sought advice from a local wildlife sanctuary. They advised he could feed her as long as he avoided domestication. He began leaving salmon in a box for Molly, fostering a unique bond that became the cornerstone of the series.

While the touching story of Molly captivated many, Cat’s decision to disclose pivotal details on-air left a portion of viewers feeling their experience had been diminished. Nonetheless, the documentary’s emotional narrative continues to inspire admiration for the natural beauty and relationships forged in the Shetlands.
