Patrick Kielty shared taxi driver’s cheeky question after make-or-break Cat Deeley flight

By staff5 August 2025No Comments3 Mins Read

Patrick Kielty once revealed that a taxi driver warned him that his efforts to woo Cat Deeley may prove fruitless after he flew half way across the world to impress her

A taxi driver once cheekily suggested to Patrick Kielty that his relationship with Cat Deeley may not go to plan after a make or break flight.

The celebrity couple announced last week they had split after marrying back in 2012 in Rome. And during an appearance on Loose Women three years after their special day, The Late Late Show presenter spoke about how a taxi driver once cast doubts about their romance. Ruth Langsford told the Northern Irish comedian, 54, that his love story with Cat, 48, was “lovely” because they were friends for a long time beforehand.

And asked how that changed into a romantic relationship, he said: “There was a moment, we always used to keep in contact, it was her birthday, and she was in Beverly Hills and I was in Dundrum (County Down).

“And obviously LA are eight hours behind, it was around tea time with her. I texted her happy birthday from a little Irish pub. It was around two-o-clock in the morning, approaching closing time.

“And she said, ‘It is just a shame you are not in LA because I’m having a lunch tomorrow’ – so I said I will be there.

“So I got up at five, jumped on a six-o-clock flight from Ireland, got into Heathrow at seven, and jumped on a 20 to 10 flight, got in at quarter past one, walked into the Beverly Hills Hotel. I said ‘hi’, she fell off the chair, and we have been together ever since.”

However, moments after shocking Cat with his romantic gesture, a taxi driver joked about keeping the engine running, in case his plan was not well received.

He recalled: “But there was a brilliant moment where the taxi driver pulled up, the taxi driver from the airport, and I was telling him the story of why I was coming and he pulled up outside the hotel, and he said, ‘Sir, would you like me to wait for you?’”

Cat, who has been presenting This Morning with Ben Shephard, later lived in LA with Patrick until the pair, along with their sons, eight and six, moved to the UK in 2020.

And while Cat has been in London with her presenting duties, Patrick has spent the last two years often being in Dublin for his weekly RTE show.

In a joint statement to the PA news agency last week, Cat and Patrick 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.”
