Cat Deeley has shared a rare video of one of her sons on social media - and he looks just like his famous dad.
The 48-year-old posted the short clip to her Instagram stories. It appeared to show her eldest son Milo, eight, during a dreaded trip to the dentist. Wearing a red Christmas jumper and jeans, the youngster had special dark glasses on ready for a treatment. And he looked braver than a lot of us do in the dentist chair, as it didn't seem to bother him at all.
Though he has slightly longer hair, Milo looked the spit of his Irish comedian and actor dad Patrick Kielty, 53, who Cat has been married to since 2012. The couple also share a six-year-old son called James. The family previously lived in LA, where Cat and Patrick worked for years, but recently relocated back to the UK.
It was then that Cat landed the new This Morning presenting job with Ben Shephard, taking over from Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby. The pair have been fronting the ITV show since March and seem to be a hit with viewers so far.

Instagram)Cat and Patrick moved back to Blighty after 14 years living in America. But Cat revealed it was a terrifying incident involving a gunman in a shopping mall while Patrick was out with Milo in a branch of Shake Shack that prompted their return home.
In a 2020 interview, Cat explained: "Everyone was told to lie behind the counter or pushed into the loos. People were screaming and crying. Then, as they were all hiding, the FBI turned up with guns. Paddy kept Milo calm — he didn’t really know what was going on."
"As I was driving, I began to see helicopters, news vans, firemen and armed police response squads. It makes me go funny now. It was terrifying. Paddy was shaken by it, more than Milo, who didn’t properly understand. The gun laws in America are crazy."
"They shut down the centre. I got a call from Paddy, saying: 'They’re taking us out through the fire exits but nobody can get to their car. If we walk to a junction, can you come and get us?'"
Thankfully, Patrick and Milo were ok, but Cat said she realised she couldn't raise her family in the US when she started looking at schools for her boys and was warned about potential gun attacks and what the procedure was if one happened. She added: "They tell you exactly what would happen, whether the kids would go to a safe room or hide under the desks…The danger suddenly becomes a reality."
