NEW This Morning host Cat Deeley is enjoying some last minute sunshine before her debut episode with Ben Shephard.
The duo were officially confirmed as Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield‘s successors by ITV earlier this month, having first been revealed as the new pairing by The Sun.
Ahead of the presenting duo’s first show on March 11, Cat has travelled to Cabo San Lucas, Mexico for some rest and relaxation.
Alongside a collection of photographs from the trip, she wrote on Instagram: “Surprise three day weekend down in #Cabo for a little rest & relaxation.”
Makeup-free Cat stripped off to a bikini for the beachside jaunt and enjoyed the stunning ocean views with a margarita cocktail and Sally Rooney‘s best-selling novel Normal People.
There’s also been delicious food, artwork and floral displays on the calming holiday.
Her friends and followers loved seeing her so content with one commenting: “Bare Face Deeley is EVERYTHING never wear makeup again – gorgeous gorgeous you.”
Another said: “Nice one Cat. Looks like paradise.”
A third posted: “How wonderful, 3 days of sunshine at the beach sheer heaven enjoy xx.”
Ben Shephard recently said an emotional farewell to Good Morning Britain after 10 years on the programme.
The goodbye episode was full of tributes and tears – though none from Ben himself.
Andi Peters and Richard Arnold teared up as their friend prepared to move to the studio next door.
Ben closed the show by saying: “The alarm going off has never been anything I’ve enjoyed. But what I have known is as soon as I get in here, I’m going to be surrounded by you brilliant, incredible, gorgeous, talented, challenging, chaotic, fabulous people that make me better at what I do.
“It’s not lost on me that I wouldn’t be able to do if you lot weren’t amazing and hadn’t been such fabulous friends and colleagues.
“I can only cope with this because I know I’m not going very far. These guys are going to carry on doing an incredible job, and I’m going to get a lie in. But in a couple of weeks, I will be able to welcome you back from school run, whatever your morning routine is, with a cup of tea and chat next door.”
