Craig Doyle teased Cat Deeley's future on This Morning on Wednesday's episode as the latter hosted her last episode this week.

TV legend Cat, 47, made her This Morning debut earlier this week and has stepped in to cover for Josie Gibson, who has jetted to Australia for I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here! It comes as This Morning has been left without permanent presenters after Holly Willoughby recently quit, just months after former co-star Phillip Schofield stepped down from the ITV chat show.

Viewers have been calling for Cat to be made a permanent presenter on This Morning after impressing fans with Rylan Clark this week. On Wednesday, Cat was joined by Craig, 52, as she revealed it was her final episode. Kicking off the show, Cat said: "Hello there and welcome to your Wednesday's This Morning! It's kind of my last day today, you're finishing me off, that's it, I'm done. I'm done, I'm cooked, I'm done, I'm going home and I'm taking my mug with me!"

Craig was quick to joke that he takes lots of stuff home, quipping he had taken a table and a couple of chairs, before adding: "I absolutely cleared the place out, clear the place out!" He then cryptically said: "Ah, you'll be back Deeley, you'll be back!", to which Cat replied: "Do you think? We've got a very busy show for you today!"

It comes as This Morning fans have called for Cat and Rylan to be the permanent hosts of the ITV chat show. On Monday, the SMTV Live legend and Rylan, 35, presented the ITV chat show together for the first time after it was reported that Cat would be a new presenter after Holly departed the show. Opening the show, Rylan said: "Hello and welcome to Monday's This Morning, what a way to start the week, TV legend Cat Deeley is in the studio!"

To which Cat replied: "Hello and good morning, can you believe they've let two of the naughtiest people in television live on ITV This Morning", with Rylan quipping: "Now this is officially the end, just letting you all know guys, this is how it ends with us two!"
