Cat Deeley removed her wedding ring as she stepped out in London following her shock split from husband Patrick Kielty on Monday, and now Patrick’s next career move has been revealed.

This Morning host Cat, 48, and Irish comedian, 54, and who share sons Milo, seven, and James, five, revealed last month that they had taken the decision to end their 13 year marriage, stressing that ‘no other party’ was involved.

The former couple shared a joint statement on July 29 that read: “We have taken the decision to end our marriage and are now separated. There is no other party involved. We will continue to be united as loving parents to our children and would therefore kindly ask for our family privacy to be respected. There will be no further comment.”

It comes after Patrick broke his silence after his split with Cat with cryptic joke amid his radio return.

Patrick is set to make his return to Irish television screens on September 12 as he steps back into his role as host of The Late Late Show. The comedian will launch into his third season presenting the iconic chat show on the national broadcaster with his signature wit and warmth.

However, this return comes during a personal turning point. After relocating from the former marital home in London, Patrick has settled into what he refers to as a “divorce house” in Dundrum, County Down. Surrounded by a tight circle of friends and family, he has been finding stability and support amid the upheaval.

It comes after Cat was seen out without her wedding ring on her ring finger. The This Morning star opted to wear the dazzling diamond ring on her left hand in a pointed gesture that seemingly symbolised her new life chapter.

She looked stylish while still keeping it lowkey, while running errands near the former couple’s marital home, in a white shirt which she teamed with blue denim high-waisted flares.

Cat teamed up her outfit with gold rimmed aviator shades and paired it with tan sandals and a brown faux leather tote bag.

The TV star was recently spotted enjoying a break in the Spanish town of Sitges with her hairdresser to the stars pal, Ben Skervin, hoping to no doubt keep a low profile and wait for things to blow over.

She’s expected to return to the iconic This Morning sofa with co-host Ben, 50, on Monday 1 September and viewers will have to wait with baited breath to see if she opens up about her split.

The former couple met while hosting BBC’s Fame Academy together in 2002, but it wasn’t until 2011 that they finally decided to take their friendship to a romantic level.

They proceeded to get married in Rome in 2012 and are parents to two sons, Milo, 9, and six-year-old James.
