Cat Deeley recreates heartwarming childhood snap as she poses on the beach 34-years later in sweet post
Cat Deeley was feeling nostalgic on Wednesday as she shared a sweet throwback-inspired post. The This Morning presenter, 48, took to Instagram to recreate a childhood photo of herself on the beach. In the original snap, she was seen holding a can of diet Coca Cola behind a pink and blue windbreak. Fast forward 34 years, Cat struck the same pose - this time holding a coffee - while wearing a grey quarter-zip top, with the very same windbreak behind her. Captioning the post, she wrote: 'Same Girl… Same Beach! 34 years later. X.' It comes after Cat gasped when she learned her 'biological age' live on This Morning and revealed a particularly unhealthy habit. Presenter duo Ben Shephard and Cat hosted Thursday's instalment of the ITV show and sat down with Dr Alka Patel. The pair had undergone a series of tests to determine their 'biological age', which refers to the physiological state of someone's body. Cat revealed it had been a 'nightmare' for her and opened up about her habit of not sleeping very well. 'So this was a nightmare for me, Zoe had to attempt it twice, I'm a terrible sleeper, but I'm very healthy, I eat healthy, I drink loads of water I do yoga,' she said. As the numbers ticked down to 33, Cat looked pleasantly surprised and gasped: 'I might cry, I might actually, am I 33?' '15 years younger!' the expert exclaimed. 'Wow, I don't know how I've done it because I certainly don't sleep and that's one of the most import factors isn't it,' Cat gasped. Dr Alka replied: 'Remember everything works together, I call it bio-synchronology, everything works together in time so all the great things that you are doing, the yoga, the stress relief, the breathing, the drinking, all of that is incredible. 'Now you've got to think to yourself, 33, I love that, I've got more years ahead of me, what do I need to do to keep it that way...' Meanwhile Ben, whose chronological age is 50, was not so impressed with his biological result of 46. He exclaimed: '46? is that it? I'm quite surprised by that, I think I look after myself, I get a decent amount of sleep, train really hard, I feel fit and healthier than I've probably ever felt in my life chronologically. 'I'm really fascinated by the idea that it's just four years.' Dr Alka advised the presenter to 'be more Goldilocks' and ensure he does 'not too much, not too little but just the right amount,' explaining he might be 'going too hard'. But ben doubled down: 'For me, the health and wellness is much more important for me mentally rather than how I feel with the physical side of things.'

Ben Shephard shares 'bucket list moment' as he enjoys break from This Morning
Ben Shephard delighted fans as he continued to celebrate his milestone 50th birthday. Lorraine: Ben Shephard chats about his cover for Men's Health Ben Shephard has delighted fans by sharing his 'bucket list moment' amid his break from This Morning. The former Good Morning Britain presenter, 50, has been celebrating his milestone birthday over recent months with a series of challenges he set himself. He's been keeping his Instagram followers updated along the way, as he vowed to be 'the fittest I've ever been' before his 50th birthday. Before turning 50 in December, Ben attempted cold water swimming, walking 5k and braving ice baths. He's now continued his celebrations with a family trip to Australia. Sharing a peek into his travels with his sons, Ben wrote: ' So this is just a little bit exciting!!!! 'As part of my 50th year celebrations continue (have I mentioned I've turned 50) a proper bucket list moment, as we've just landed in Australia with the family - to support the British and Irish Lions across their tests!!!! 'I'm doing a bit of work but mostly doing a lot of cheering, supporting and merch acquiring…Lions Suitcases anyone. 'Can't wait for later - thoughts on the score??? Also in Brisbane for a few days any recommends will be gratefully received!' Fans and friends alike rushed to share their support, with Loose Women 's Katie Piper writing: 'That's such a great thing to do as a family.' 'So exciting,' This Morning regular Ashley James said, while Helen Skelton wrote: 'What an adventure,' and Gaby Roslin said: 'Have an amazing adventure.' Carol Vorderman shared her own anecdote, commenting: 'Omg Ben I was filming in Brizzie and across Queensland in 1989 (it was very different then) and bumped into the Lions in a bar in Cairns Took me days to recover but what a laugh First time I ever had shots of tequila … it wasn't a 'thing' 40 years ago Bloody hell… life's never dull Have a great great time.' 'Have fun big man there is some@great place to eat out there enjoy,' Jamie Oliver added. Ben proved his challenges to be as fit as he could be paid off with a shoot in May showing off his six-pack. Recreating his Men's Health cover from 13 years ago, the TV presenter revealed his toned body, saying: 'To get stronger, physically and mentally, is definitely harder the older you get. In my forties, I was still on the attack. In my fifties, I'm on the defensive. 'It's all about how I prolong things now – not going out and smashing it left, right and centre. 'Proving to yourself you have the discipline to do something, proving you can be accountable to yourself is incredibly seductive and infectious. The more you get of that, the more you want it.' Ben went on to explain that he appreciates his body now more than his 2012 photoshoot, and would 'love' to recreate it again when he turns 60. He told Men's Health: 'I think I value the condition I'm in now more than in 2012. I've got more lean muscle, that's for sure. 'There are parts of my body that are bigger. I think my body fat is a little bit higher than it was then. Back then it was probably single figures and I think I'm about 10.5% to 10.8% now – which is extraordinary when you think I'm 13 years older.'

Tipping Point contestant ripped to shreds for mortifying blunder after bragging about A-level in history - as fans jeer 'you must have skipped a few lessons!'
A Tipping Point contestant was ripped to shreds for a mortifying blunder after bragging about her A-level in history - but fans jeered 'you must have skipped a few lessons!' In a previous episode of the ITV show, hosted by Ben Shephard, a primary school teacher called Hanifa tried her best to get her hands on some cash. During the game she made a huge mistake while answering one of the questions. Presenter Ben asked her: 'At the Malta Summit in 1989, which US declared the end of the Cold War?' Hanifa replied: 'I should know this as I did A Level history… I think I am going to play.' 'Okay, you're going to play - great!' Ben replied. In a previous episode of the ITV show, hosted by Ben Shephard (pictured), a primary school teacher called Hanifa tried her best to get her hands on some cash. She confessed: 'I'm debating between two. J.F Kennedy, Abraham Lincoln... 'I am going to go J.F Kennedy.' Ben asked: 'J.F Kennedy, yep?' He then wanted to know what Hanifa's competition would have answered. Luckily he had no idea and said: 'Not sure.' 'Didn't have to answer it, because Hanfia, she's all over this,' Ben said. 'Let's see if you got the right one. Is it J.F Kennedy?...' The light then went red, indicating that she got the incorrect answer. Ben explained: 'It was George H W Bush was the president in 1989. Kennedy was president in the 60s, Abraham Lincoln was the 1860s, so the century before...' Hanifa confessed: 'I was way off!' George H.W Bush was president in the US between 1989 and 1993, while George W. Bush was president between 2001 and 2009. John F. Kennedy was president between 1961 and 1963. Abraham Lincoln was in charge between 1961 and 1965. The moment has resurfaced on Instagram, with one viewer sharing their shock as they said: 'Absolutely, and I can't emphasise this enough, f***ing extraordinary.' 'Hint: 1989 (who was the US president at the time?)' 'tbf she said she DID A level history, she didn't say she PASSED A level history.' 'Oh dear....' 'I have no more words ffs.'

Cat Deeley gasps ‘I might actually cry' as she learns her ‘biological age' live on This Morning - revealing VERY unhealthy habit after ‘nightmare' string of tests
Cat Deeley gasped when she learned her 'biological age' live on This Morning and revealed a particularly unhealthy habit. Presenter duo Ben Shephard and Cat hosted Thursday's instalment of the ITV show and sat down with Dr Alka Patel. The pair had undergone a series of tests to determine their 'biological age', which refers to the physiological state of someone's body. Cat, whose chronological age is 48, revealed it had been a 'nightmare' for her and opened up about her habit of not sleeping very well. 'So this was a nightmare for me, Zoe had to attempt it twice, I'm a terrible sleeper, but I'm very healthy, I eat healthy, I drink loads of water I do yoga,' she said. As the numbers ticked down to 33, Cat looked pleasantly surprised and gasped: 'I might cry, I might actually, am I 33?' '15 years younger!' the expert exclaimed. 'Wow, I don't know how I've done it because I certainly don't sleep and that's one of the most import factors isn't it,' Cat gasped. Dr Alka replied: 'Remember everything works together, I call it bio-synchronology, everything works together in time so all the great things that you are doing, the yoga, the stress relief, the breathing, the drinking, all of that is incredible. 'Now you've got to think to yourself, 33, I love that, I've got more years ahead of me, what do I need to do to keep it that way...' Meanwhile Ben, whose chronological age is 50, was not so impressed with his biological result of 46. He exclaimed: '46? is that it? I'm quite surprised by that, I think I look after myself, I get a decent amount of sleep, train really hard, I feel fit and healthier than I've probably ever felt in my life chronologically. 'I'm really fascinated by the idea that it's just four years.' Dr Alka advised the presenter to 'be more Goldilocks' and ensure he does 'not too much, not too little but just the right amount,' explaining he might be 'going too hard'. But ben doubled down: 'For me, the health and wellness is much more important for me mentally rather than how I feel with the physical side of things.' Dr Alka replied: 'Remember everything works together, I call it bio-synchronology, everything works together in time so all the great things that you are doing, the yoga, the stress relief, the breathing, the drinking, all of that is incredible. Elsewhere in the same episode, Cat and Ben interviewed three women who identify as witches. All three post about their magical activities on TikTok and Emma explained: 'I think because the word 'witch' people are scared of it because of the movies, and I think now people are looking at it as a form of wellness and good for their emotions and inner calmness. 'It's really beautiful to see younger generations, especially Holly's age stepping into witchcraft and sharing their magic.' This Morning airs weekdays on ITV1 from 10am and is available to stream on ITVX.
