Cat Deeley apologizes for controversial seizure joke

Cat Deeley apologized for a joke made on This Morning that offended viewers, particularly those with epilepsy. The backlash led to a discussion on the seriousness of seizures and the impact on individuals with epilepsy. Some defended Cat, stating she meant no harm, while others criticized her comment. The incident coincided with a decline in viewership for the show since Cat and Ben took over hosting duties. Former presenter Fern Britton hinted at a return, adding to the show's uncertainty. Cat's apology was seen as genuine, but the incident raised awareness about the importance of sensitivity towards health conditions like epilepsy.
