Cat Deeley, the British presenter of the ITV morning show This Morning, went viral after falling backwards during a segment on Tuesday, November 5.
At the time, Deeley was attempting to recreate a TikTok video with her co-host Ben Shephard. In the trend, which American football player Danny Amendola performed on the U.S. talent show Dancing with the Stars, a dancer stands up from the floor using the strength of their core and their partner’s hand.
Although Deeley and Shephard were eager to try it, the move didn’t go as planned, and the presenter fell backwards onto the floor during the live broadcast. While laughing, the host helped Deeley get back up.
“Quick health check. Are you okay?” he asked. “Yes, but just barely. I’m too old for this,” Deeley replied. Shephard then admitted that this wasn’t their first attempt.
“This was our, uh, 78th try. We got a bit stuck, so… No cats were harmed during the filming of this scene. There were a few other takes that will probably end up on the internet, they’ll be safer. But it’s all good, we’re fine,” the host added.
