Cat Deeley has been on TV for as long as we can remember from her early days presenting Fame Academy to taking her talents Stateside. Throughout her more than 20-year TV career, it's no wonder Cat has secured herself an impressive net worth.
The TV star, 47, is so in demand that she has even turned down an offer to present This Morning full-time, according to reports. It is said that ITV are "gutted" over the rejection with bosses "tearing their hair out" after Cat chose to return to America to host So You Think You Can Dance instead.
She began her career as a model after she was scouted at the age of 14 and worked as a fashion model. She went on to secure her first presenting gig on Hitlist UK in 1997 and has been on TV ever since.
Her second big break came when she fronted SM:TV Live from 1998 to 2002 alongside Anthony McPartlin and Declan Donnelly. The Saturday morning children's TV show in the UK kicked off all three of their successful presenting careers.
In 2002, Cat became the co-host of the talent show Fame Academy with her now-husband Patrick Kielty until 2003. Shooting to further success she joined Stars in Their Eyes from 2003 to 2006 with her longest TV role in So You Think You Can Dance, spanning over 15 years.
Cat has also been a guest presenter on Lorraine, The One Show, This Morning and Who Wants to Be a Millionaire. From her very first TV role, Cat has certainly put her name on the map in the world of TV and has a net worth of around £10.8 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth.
As well as this her popularity in TV has seen her be nominated for a Primetime Emmy five times. Cat reportedly earned a whopping salary of £43,000 per episode on So You Think You Can Dance, which she began in 2006 and moved to the US for.
In the States, Cat has been a guest reporter on NBC's The Tonight Show and has hosted Fox's New Year's Eve Special in 2006 and 2007. The star has also taken to radio on Capital FM and BBC Choice.
In 2012, Cat tied the knot with comedian and TV personality Patrick Kielty and together they have two young children Milo and James. They lived in a sprawling £3.6 million property in California before moving back to the UK in 2020, after living in the US for 15 years.
