Cat Deeley has made a bombshell move after splitting from her husband Patrick Kielty in summer last year. This Morning presenter Cat, 50, announced her separation from Patrick, 55, in June 2025 – and now she has bought him out of their £5million London home after taking out a loan for £3.4million. According to Land Registry papers, the home has been taken off the market after previously being listed for £5million. They purchased the derelict 1950s house in Hampstead in 2022 to be the “forever home” of their children Milo, 10, and James, eight.

When they split, the house was listed with estate agent Savills, but Cat has now purchased the house outright.

She explained to Closer magazine last month: “I’m doing a big renovation, which is a massive project, and my brother is helping me do it. I like doing things that scare me a little bit.”

She added: “I always feel like if an opportunity comes up or there's something life-changing that you want to do, if you feel a little bit scared and you're approaching it with a little trepidation, then you should probably do it.”

The renovation previously put “additional stress” on the couple’s marriage, Cat confessed.

She wanted to create a grand entrance hall to the property, along with demolishing a mezzanine floor and extending the bedrooms and terrace.

Cat initially announced her split from comedian Patrick with a statement that said: “We have taken the decision to end our marriage and are now separated. There is no other party involved.

“We will continue to be united as loving parents to our children and would therefore kindly ask for our family privacy to be respected. There will be no further comment."

In a 2026 interview with The Sunday Times, Cat said she and Patrick are co-parenting the kids “50-50”, admitting: “Everybody’s doing their best.”
