This Morning's Rylan Clark has shared a hilarious response to co-hosting the show with TV presenter Cat Deeley next week.

The former Strictly: It Takes Two host re-tweeted a news article about Deeley's new role this week (November 9), giving his stance on the report.

"If we don't play wonkey donkey I'm not doing it …. @thismorning @catdeeley," read the tweet.

Rylan's comment made reference to a show segment Deeley made famous whilst co-presenting entertainment show SM:TV Live with I'm a Celebrity's Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly back in the late nineties and early 2000s.

News of Cat Deeley's alleged appointment to This Morning was first reported by The Sun, with the publication basing their report on inside sources.

Digital Spy understands that Cat Deeley will present This Morning with Rylan on Monday and Tuesday next week, additionally co-hosting with Craig Doyle on Wednesday's show.

This Morning has seen a number of rotating celebrity guest presenters step in to host the show following the departure of Holly Willoughby in early October. In a statement shared via Instagram, Holly confirmed she had quit This Morning after 14 years, making the decision for "me and my family".

This Morning's Alison Hammond and Dermot O'Leary have continued to present the ITV flagship programme on their set mornings. Craig Doyle, The Saturday's singer Rochelle Humes and Rylan Clark have also returned to co-host during the last month.

Cat Deeley previously stepped in as guest presenter on fellow ITV show Lorraine between 2020 and 2021, though this month marks the first time she'll be sitting on the This Morning sofa.

The TV presenter is best known for hosting SM:TV, Fame Academy and American talent contest So You Think You Can Dance.

This Morning airs on ITV on weekday mornings from 10am to 12:30pm.
