Why did Cat Deeley leave America?

Speaking to You magazine, Cat said her family got caught up in a US shooting ordeal.
And the trauma of this encounter persuaded them to return to British soil.
She said: “I got a call from Paddy, saying: ‘They’re taking us out through the fire exits but nobody can get to their car. If we walk to a junction, can you come and get us?'”
She described the incident as “terrifying”.
Additionally she said she feared the prospect of school shooters when her sons attended American school.

Cat Deeley is set to appear on tonight’s episode of Saturday Night Takeaway.
The episode kicks off at 7pm.
