She also tagged a restaurant with rooms called The Foveran, which could give fans an idea of where she might be holed up during her time away from the screen.

What has Cat Deeley said about taking over?

The announcement was made during an advert on ITV earlier today.

It showed clips of Cat hosting the show previously.

The official Lorraine also shared the news of Cat’s return.

Posting a compilation video, it said: “She’s back and we can’t wait!”

Neither can viewers, it seems.

“Yayyyyyyy, love her,” said one.

“She fitted right in,” said another.

A third added: “Thought she was very good when she hosted before.”
