THIS Morning star Cat Deeley has told how she loves to kick husband Patrick Kielty out of bed so that she can catch forty winks.

During a discussion with TV personality Linda Lusardi about the benefits of separate bedrooms, Cat admitted that Patrick, 53 and her, agree to sleep in different rooms on certain nights of the week.

She said: "It's one of those things that because of our schedule here [This Morning], from Monday to Thursday I sleep in the guest bedroom. And the rest of the time I'm back because otherwise I get up at 5am and I want to fall asleep earlier."

Linda responded in agreement by saying: "Well that's logistics, you've got an odd job that makes you get up early. You have to! But I do think if you can sleep together why not." 

TV star Cat has been married to the Irish presenter since September 2012, just a few months after going public with their relationship. They are now parents to two small boys, Milo, eight and James, five.

Speaking to she said:  "I drop the ball all the time. I'm exactly the same as everybody else. I do the juggle – the juggle is real, the struggle is real. "We're all just trying to make everything work. It's all a juggle; it's juggling the things that make you feel good." 

Indeed the Brummie-born presenter who achieved the dream of breaking America, having successfully hosted US show So You Think You can Dance for 14 years, has said that family was her reason for relocating from LA back to London.

She said:  "We had always thought: 'Our boys have grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins they adore, and they adore them right back'. It's such a special moment in time and you don’t get those times back,"
