When Ben and Cat made their debut earlier this month, a body language expert shared his thoughts on the pair’s rapport.

Darren Stanton said on behalf of Betfair Slots: “There’s an instant connection between Cat and Ben. The levels of chemistry they’re showing is similar to some of the best duos on This Morning.

“What’s interesting is that there’s certain times when they’ll lean in towards each other. This is quite significant as it’s an example of matching and mirroring that you don’t often see.”

Meanwhile, he added: “They’re very well suited as the faces of This Morning. It’s a show that needs two very strong presenters.”
