This Morning fans devastated as Cat Deeley is replaced in presenter shake up
CAT Deeley was replaced on This Morning today as the show underwent a presenter shake up.
The 47-year-old became the latest face to grace the sofa after a year of monumental change.
Cat hosted with Rylan Clark on Monday and Tuesday this week, before Craig Doyle stepped in yesterday.
Then today, Cat was swapped out for Alison Hammond who made a return ahead of her usual Friday slot.
She and Craig took over the Thursday show, with Dermot O'Leary returning on Friday.
Cat's absence devastated viewers who are calling on her to be Holly Willoughby's permanent replacement.

Another added: "She has to be permanent. She’s incredible, flawless, natural and so watchable."
Someone else said: "Cat has been so funny. This Morning really suits her please bring her back."
The Sun revealed Cat’s new gig last week as bosses continue to look for a replacement for Holly and Phillip Schofield.

The flagship daytime show has been left in crisis since star Holly, 42, quit in October, just months after Phillip, 61, was axed for having had an affair with a much younger runner, leaving a shortage among the presenter rotation.
An ITV spokeswoman said: "Cat Deeley and Rylan will host This Morning together on Monday and Tuesday, Cat will host with Craig Doyle on Wednesday, then Alison Hammond and Craig on Thursday. Alison and Dermot will host the show together as usual on Friday."
