Cat Deeley beams in bikini on holiday

Cat Deeley was clearly enjoying a break from the norm as she basked in the French sunshine.

The TV presenter announced she was taking a break from This Morning duties earlier this month and confirmed she isn't due back until September. She appears to be making the most of the downtime alongside her kids and TV star husband, Patrick Kielty.

Cat and fellow presenter, Irish comedian Patrick, share two sons together - Milo, eight, and James, five - and tied the knot in 2012.

The quartet were sunning it up on the sandy beaches of St Tropez. They 47-year-old former SMTV Live star showed her toned physique as she smiled while appearing to set up camp for the family.

She opted for a two piece black strapless bikini and paired it with a cream panama hat with a gold trim. She accessorised with a pari of chunky black sunglasses.

Cat was stood beside a blue tent with a number of beach bags scattered nearby. She appeared to summon hubby Patrick from his dip in the sea in a bid to get the family dried off. Patrick wore navy swimwear and was seen to add a white polo shirt.

Later, Cat was seen putting on a plain navy maxi dress to go for a walk after drying and dressing one of her kids. For her jaunt, Cat wore open-toed sandals and she was spotted carrying one of her youngsters' shoes.

While the length of their holiday is unclear, they were basking under the glorious European sunshine while England is battered by rain and colder weather last week too. Cat took to Instagram to share a rare glimpse of her kids climbing onto a wall, with a luxury Chanel store in the background.

She captioned her upload: "C'est si bon!" which translates to: "It is so good!" She also shared footage of the brothers on their way to a local beach while carrying an inflatable boat.

The trip is the latest luxury getaway for the star, who also opted for a trip to Cabo during the Easter break.

Cat's latest break from presenting duties comes a month after she apologised for insensitive comments on air. The presenter had caused a storm online, when she was seen dancing in the ITV studio alongside co-star Ben Shephard before introducing singer Meghan Trainor as one of her guests for the day.

Playfully chatting as the cameras rolled, she joked: "I'm just having a seizure." Her words prompted an angry backlash on Twitter/X: "Wow @catdeeley @thismorning choose your words more wisely!! You really think seizures are funny!? What a stupid thing to say and then snigger at!," one user fumed.

The backlash continued to grow online, leading to Cat issuing an apology a day later.
