Cat Deeley reveals surprising This Morning presenter shake-up ahead of Friday’s show

This Morning’s Cat Deeley shocked viewers as she revealed a shock presenter shake-up for Friday’s instalment of the ITV daytime show.

‘She’ll be back in the studio for a Eurovision party snacks.’

Cat added: ‘The coupon king is going to be back here with his weekly deals. That is tomorrow from 10!’ 

MailOnline contacted ITV for comment.  

Lisa has been part of the This Morning team since 2016 after the model initially joined as a fashion correspondent.

Over the past three years Lisa has become a regular contributor, sharing fashion tips with viewers. 

Alison has been part of the This Morning team since 2002. 

In 2020 it was revealed that she would replace Eamonn Holmes and Ruth Langsford on the Friday instalment.

The pair started presenting the programme together in 2021.

It’s not the first time Alison has missed her stint on This Morning in recent weeks. 

On April 4 The Big Brother star was missing from This Morning for a third week running – just days after viewers demanded she was replaced on For The Love Of Dogs. 

Alison was replaced by regular contributor Josie Gibson, 40, on that occasion. 

A week prior the programme underwent the same presenter shake-up as Alison was replaced and Dermot was again joined by the familiar face instead.

It comes after This Morning fans blasted a ‘creepy’ new presenter after their disastrous debut on Tuesday.

Cat and Ben sat down with Jake Moore, a cyber-security expert on the latest instalment of the daytime show.

At one point, the trio were joined by a new face, Julia, who wasn’t like any usual TV presenter. 

Julia was an AI presenter, created by Jake using ‘straightforward and simple’ software, Ben explained.

Before she was due to appear on the show, Julia crashed and had to be rebooted. 

Julia gave a comprehensive response and said: ‘AI or artificial intelligence refers to the similarity of human intelligence in machines that are designed to think and learn like people.’

She described how it ‘encompᴀsses various technology’ and is a ‘fascinating field with endless possibilities’.

Cat then asked: ‘Julia, we haven’t told you what to say, have we?’

The AI replied: ‘No you haven’t, I’m here to provide information and ᴀssistance bases on your queries.’

This Morning airs from 10am weekdays on ITV and is available to stream on ITVX.
