    She's brilliant!! hide show

    I think Cat Deeley is such a great TV presenter!! She's fun, confident, cool and has great fashion choices. I love her on, So You Think You Can Dance?' It's a great show!! Whenever I'm watchingit she makes it better. I also luv her ad for Ganier Hair products. Her hair is such a nice shade of blonde, no wonder she's is doing those ad's.

    Cat Deeley is one of the best presenters in UK Television. hide show

    Cat started off as a model and is very pretty. I first noticed her while watching SM:TV Live. Next to Ant and Dec she was hillarious and very profesinal but she seemed very young. She also hosted the show straight after SM:TV Live, CD:UK. I loved both these shows and was starting to become a huge fan of Cat's. Before I knew it, Cat was everywhere! She was presenting many music and award shows and she was still a presenter on SM:TV Live and CD:UK. she's gone a little quiet at the moment her last show ended in (2005) but I'm sure she'll come back with a bang!!!
