Cat Deeley reunites with Ant and Dec on rebuilt SM:TV set to promote new book

Television presenter Cat Deeley reunited with Ant and Dec for an Instagram post to promote her new book.

The trio worked together on their days on SM:TV but now Ant McPartlin, 44, and Declan Donnelly, 44, are showing their support for Cat’s new book, The Joy In You.

The snap comes following news that they reunited for a special SM:TV reunion show due to air on ITV.

Ant and Dec posted the image on Instagram with the caption: “Seems everybody’s got a book out these days! Good look to our chum @catdeeley on the release of her children’s book #TheJoyInYou “.

Cat, 43, jokingly replied to their post: “think you’ll like the pictures”.

The post comes after Cat was surprised with a clip from her first screen test with Ant and Dec while chatting to Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield on This Morning today.

When faced with the clip, Cat jokingly walked off before spilling all on their recent reunion.

She detailed: “We shot a documentary and we talked about all different things: how we first got together how we first met each other, all the things that went wrong in the show.

“It was at a time of our lives when we didn’t have many responsibilities really.

“It went quite badly at the beginning, but we turned it around, we found our feet.

“We found the chemistry between us.”

Cat also previously wrote in The Big Issue’s Letter To My Younger Self column as she reflected on her history with the duo.

She noted: “People forget, when we started SM:TV we were rubbish. And nobody watched it at all.

“It only stayed on air because Nigel Pickard, who was in charge of ITV kids’ programmes at the time, said: ‘We’ve got nothing else to fill the slot with. I know they’re rubbish now, but I think they’ve got something; let’s just keep them on, no one’s watching anyway.’

“So we had this amazing luxury, where we were all learning together.

“And because we were surrounded by a brilliant crew it came together, there was a lovely chemistry between myself and Ant and Dec.

“Also, we all genuinely really liked each other.”

The special reunion show will air on ITV later this year.
