Will Cat stay at This Morning?

Cat Deeley and her This Morning co-host Ben Shephard were all smiles at the National Television Awards, six months after they took over anchor duties of the ITV show.

Cat dazzled on the red carpet at London's 02 arena in a slinky red Saint Laurent gown and, while This Morning didn't win any gongs, she and Ben presented the award for Best Quiz Show with their usual flair.

However, although they put on a united front at the awards, the presenters' stint at the helm of This Morning so far hasn't been without its challenges.

Cat, 47, joined Ben, 49, as main hosts in early March following the dramatic departures of Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield last year, but the show's been dogged by reports of low ratings and rumours of mounting pressure to make it a success.
