Cat Deeley Criticized for Armistice Day Remarks

Cat Deeley faced backlash from viewers during This Morning's coverage of Armistice Day after mistakenly stating it was time to 'celebrate' before the two-minute silence, which is meant to honor the sacrifices of the Armed Forces. Her choice of words sparked outrage on social media, with many suggesting she should have said 'commemorate' instead. Following the silence, Deeley described the scenes as 'incredibly moving,' but some viewers felt that ITV disrespected the occasion by cutting back to the studio before the silence officially ended. Critics expressed their disappointment, labeling Deeley's comments and the show's timing as shocking and disrespectful. The incident has prompted discussions about the sensitivity required when addressing such solemn events. The Royal Family and other dignitaries held their own tributes during the day, emphasizing the importance of remembrance.
