Andi Peters Joins Cat Deeley on This Morning Sparking Laughter and Mixed Reactions
Monday’s episode of This Morning saw a change in the usual hosting line-up, with Cat Deeley teaming up with Andi Peters as her co-host. Typically, Cat shares the famous sofa with Ben Shephard, who is currently away filming an ITV project. In his absence, viewers have seen Alison Hammond and Dermot O’Leary step in, but this week, Andi took the spotlight.
Known for delivering competition updates, Andi embraced his expanded role, but not without a playful jab from Jeff Brazier during the broadcast. Introducing a segment, Andi said, “If you’re dreaming of a white Christmas, Jeff Brazier has gone in search of some snow. Jeff, good morning! It looks glorious where you are!”, reported by the Mirror.
Jeff responded cheekily, “Morning Cat and Andi. Andi don’t worry, I’ll do the cold ones!” The lighthearted comment left both Cat and Andi in stitches, with Cat exclaiming, “That was brilliant!” and Andi adding, “Jeff, I thank you for that!”
The banter-filled episode sparked mixed reactions from viewers. Some expressed doubts about the pairing on social media, with one saying, “Andi is a bit over the top for a gloomy Monday morning.” Another commented, “This Andi Peters and Cat Deeley partnership looks like a recipe for disaster. I don’t think Cat fancies Andi Peters as a co-presenter. Andi Peters and Rochelle is the best partnership on This Morning.”
Not all feedback was critical, as others praised the duo’s dynamic energy. One viewer wrote, “Their energy is better matched.”
As the show progressed, Cat and Andi shared how the recent storm disrupted their weekend plans. Cat revealed, “We had to cancel tennis and cancel golf, but there was a roller disco involved! Have you ever done one of those?”
Andi admitted, “I don’t think I’ve ever been to a roller disco,” prompting Cat to suggest they try it together. In a burst of enthusiasm, Andi shouted to the crew, “Book us in! Anyone want to come to the roller disco?” His call was met with cheers, to which he jokingly added, “Cat’s paying for all the tickets!”
Despite the mixed viewer response, Cat and Andi’s lighthearted rapport added a touch of fun to the morning broadcast, proving their adaptability in the ever-changing This Morning line-up.
