In the world of television, it's not uncommon for popular shows to feature guest appearances from big names in the entertainment industry. From Paul McCartney and Stephen Hawking to other unexpected stars, The Simpsons has seen its fair share of celebrity cameos. But one appearance that surprised many was that of This Morning host Cat Deeley.
In 2015, Cat Deeley made a special appearance on the long-running cartoon as a TV presenter. And during a recent episode of This Morning, she shared what it was like behind the scenes of her guest spot. With excitement in her voice, the 47-year-old gushed about her experience, recalling how she got to visit the Fox Studios and even see the old dressing rooms, including Marilyn Monroe's. It was truly a surreal and memorable moment for Cat, who could feel the rich history of the place.
In addition to her behind-the-scenes insights, Cat also revealed that guest stars record their voice parts separately. And unfortunately, unlike Chief Wiggum, they don't get to indulge in donuts during their time on set. But Cat did get to take home a special memento from her time on The Simpsons - a cel of her character.
Cat's appearance on The Simpsons came nearly a decade after she began hosting So You Think You Can Dance in the US. And during her time on This Morning, she also shared another fun fact - she had a cameo role in Disney's Shake It Up alongside Zendaya, before the young star became a household name. Cat even added that she still exchanges texts with Zendaya and that she has always been lovely, even before her rise to fame.
But Cat wasn't the only one from This Morning to have a guest appearance on a popular TV show. Her co-host Ben Shephard, 49, also shared some of his own glittering cameo moments, including a brief appearance on Friends back in 2002. In the episode titled "The One Where Rachel Is Late," Joey takes Chandler to his latest film premiere, where he is swarmed by reporters. And in the midst of all the chaos, Ben can be seen fighting his way through the crowd, as he plays the role of "Man With Microphone," as listed in the credits.
However, Ben recently revealed that his blink-and-you'll-miss-it moment on Friends actually managed to offend one of the show's stars - Matt LeBlanc, who played Joey. During an interview on Good Morning Britain, Ben shared that he accidentally leaned into the shot while Matt and another actor were filming their lines. In response, Matt can be seen in the footage putting out his hand and asking, "Who's that freak?" in a light-hearted manner.
Of course, Cat and Ben are not the only stars to have made a guest appearance on Friends. Other big names like Brad Pitt, Reese Witherspoon, and Julia Roberts have all had memorable roles on the beloved sitcom. And now, Cat and Ben can add their names to the list of notable guest stars on popular TV shows.
This Morning airs weekdays on ITV at 10am. And if you have a celebrity story, video, or pictures to share, you can reach out to the entertainment team at The Agency by emailing them, calling their number, or visiting their Submit Stuff page. They would love to hear from you!
