Cat Deeley Discusses Her 'Secret Marriage'

Cat Deeley has revealed she was able to keep her wedding plans secret by pretending she was organising her 40th birthday.

The 36-year-old television presenter married Irish comedian Patrick Kielty in a private ceremony in Rome, Italy last October.

In an interview with US Magazine, Ms Deeley said: "The way I was able to keep my wedding so secret is we called it my 40th. So that was the code word: 'Have you invited them yet to the 40th,' 'Have you received a reply about the 40th,' 'Have you booked the food for the 40th,' we just kept it really, really quiet.

"My husband is Catholic so we got married in a Catholic church in Rome, we did it really, really quickly, so there was no hanging around and that was it. There were only 60 people there, friends and family, and we just had a giant feast in the garden, with lots of wine, lots of singing and lots of dancing until 4 a.m. It was the best party ever!"

Recently, Deeley dismissed rumours that the couple were planning to start a family.

Women's Health magazine quoted the newlywed as saying: "Look, it took us 10 years to get this far, so don't rush me! But yes, I do think at some stage or another we would like a family."

The couple have been friends since filming BBC's Fame Academy together in 2002, but it was only when the comedian flew to Los Angeles to help Deeley celebrate her birthday, that she knew it was more than friendship.

"There had always been a bit of a 'thing' between us, but it was never the right place, right time, so nothing ever happened," she explained. "Then it was my birthday and he called from Ireland to say hello and to ask what I was doing.

"I told him I was going to the Beverly Hills Hotel for Sunday brunch, so he flew from Ireland to London, from London to LA, got a cab from the airport, dropped his bags with the concierge at the hotel, and walked into the restaurant. No-one does that stuff anymore!"
