Cat’s loving motherhood and reveals her secret to staying thin

CAT Deeley is relishing being a mother for the first time – and she has opened up about motherhood following the birth of her son in January. The 39-year-old wife of Co. Down comedian Patrick Kielty said: ‘I’m besotted with the baby and really enjoying motherhood.’ The presenter also revealed that she isn’t overly fond of the gym and has lost her baby weight without stepping foot inside of one.

‘People keep asking me if I’ve been hitting the gym, but I haven’t!’ Cat told Closer magazine. ‘ I think breastfeeding is key and it’s worked well for me. Add to that running around after a new baby and you don’t need to work out.’

The name of the baby has yet to be publicly revealed. The first-time parents have been well-supported by Cat’s parents who flew to the couple’s LA home before Christmas to be on hand when the baby arrived. Cat said: ‘You have to listen to advice, then it’s all about learning on the job. Nothing can prepare you for motherhood.’

It’s only been two months since the birth of the baby but Cat is already set to return to work.

Husband Kielty, 45, previously talked about getting married in an interview last year. He said of the surprise nuptials: ‘I know, it was such a shock for me as well. We were going out together and next thing I’m standing there and Cat turns up in a wedding dress and I’m like “What the hell is this about?” ‘The thing is we didn’t want a big wedding. We didn’t want to get married, we wanted to be married.’
