CAT Deeley could be co-hosting Britain’s Got Talent this summer when Ant McPartlin’s pregnant wife gives birth.
Producers are working out a contingency plan for live screenings if Declan Donnelly has to leave for a short time.

Dec could present solo or see one of his presenter friends – such as Cat, 47, or Stephen Mulhern, 46 – come on as a guest host.
Cat now hosts ITV’s This Morning, replacing Holly Willoughby.
The Sun revealed last month how delighted Ant was to become a dad at the age of 48 and that wife Anne-Marie Corbett, 46, is expecting in June.
But a TV source said: “The timing is causing headaches for bosses.
“They are considering whether Dec will perform alone if Anne-Marie goes into labour, or if time permits, a guest presenter could step in. Cat and Stephen, who the lads have worked with in the past, are the frontrunners.”
The Geordie duo worked with Stephen on Saturday Night Takeaway and previously with Cat on SMTV Live and CD:UK.
The Sun recently shared that the couple, who tied the knot in August 2021, are expanding their family.
Ant opened up about Anne-Marie’s pregnancy while discussing his and Declan Donnelly’s decision to end their Saturday Night Takeaway show.
Speaking to Fault magazine, he said: “We need to spend some time with our family. We both have children.”
Although this is Antu’s first child, Dec, also 48, shares Isla, five, and one-year-old Jack with his wife Ali.
