Her Wednesday morning blunder comes after she sprinted off the set live during Tuesday morning’s show
Her gaffe on Wednesday morning came after she sprinted off the set live during Tuesday morning’s show.
The blonde beauty suffered a coughing fit while speaking to the ITV doctors, leaving Ben to take over on his own.
As she ran off the set, Ben told viewers, “I think Cat needs to sneak off because she’s having a coughing fit! We’ve got doctors here, we’re fine!”
Later in the show, Ben asked Cat if she had recovered from her cough, after fans raised concerns about the TV star.
She said, ‘I think so, sort of. I’m a little teary-eyed, but it’s going to be okay.’
Viewers expressed their concerns on X, formerly known as Twitter, after Cat was forced off air.
Some wrote: ‘I hope Cat is okay. I’ve had coughing fits like that before and they’re not fun #ThisMornin’.’
‘Someone needs to get some buttercup syrup for Cat #VanMorgen’
‘Kat should have called in sick…? #thismorning.’

This came after Cat was furious on This Morning during a money-saving segment with Jordon Cox after discovering a tax was being levied on pink products targeted at women.
This Morning’s Coupon King Jordon was a guest on the ITV show on Wednesday to share his latest money-saving tips with Cat and Ben.
The pink tax is not a tax in the literal sense of the word. It refers to women paying more for the same or similar products and services than men.
During the show, Jordon informed both hosts that the pink tax hasn’t always been applied to products, but he added that it “still happens a little bit.”
He also revealed that if a woman were to buy a pack of razor blades, she would buy fewer razor blades than her male counterpart, despite paying more than him.
Female buyers also pay more for the scent and color of a razor, which made Cat laugh sarcastically.
Then Jordon made the same distinction with shaving cream and Cat could no longer contain her displeasure.
She raged: “I’m furious! I’m furious about this pink tax,” before adding: “I’m absolutely annoyed about it, I’m definitely putting this in the bag.”
The presenter then threw the tube of shaving foam she was holding in the bin and went on to admit that she had developed a habit of buying ‘boy socks’ to avoid paying tax.
