Patrick Kielty turns heartbreak into professional triumph

Patrick Kielty is preparing for his latest career move amid his shock split from wife Cat Deeley. 

The This Morning host, 48, and Irish comedian, 54, issued a joint statement last month, revealing: 'We have taken the decision to end our marriage and are now separated. There is no other party involved.'

The couple, who share sons Milo, seven, and James, five were married for 12 years of marriage. 

It has now been revealed that Patrick will be returning to Irish television as host of The Late Late Show on September 12. 

The star is set to front the third season of the national broadcaster's iconic show after moving from the marital home in London to County Down. 

This comes just days after Cat was spotted without her wedding ring during her latest appearance in London, following her breakup from Patrick.

Her appearance coincided with Patrick's return from a Spanish getaway with a male friend, where he was seen dining at a restaurant in Sieges, a hotspot often visited by celebrities.

For context, Patrick Kielty's family is said to be 'angry and upset' with Cat Deeley over her absence at his mother's funeral, a move they reportedly believe confirmed that the marriage was over for good.
