And the slender physique was well in evidence as Cat Deeley made a guest appearance on American talk show Jimmy Kimmel Live!

The presenter, 39, looked stunning in a thigh-skimming slip dress that showcased her toned legs as she made her way into the Hollywood studio for a chat with the host on Wednesday evening.

Her elegant outfit was accentuated with a pair of sassy silver heels, while accessories were pared back on the night, with Cat opting for a single silver necklace.

In keeping with the simple nature of her ensemble the British presenter styled her tousled hair with an easily maintained centre parting.

Her make-up was also subtle, with understated red lipstick and the merest hint of blusher providing an added splash of colour.

Cat was in great form following the birth of son Milo, her first child with Kielty, in January - but she admitted deciding on the boy's name led to arguments with her husband.

She told Kimmel: 'We did fall out a little bit over the name - we left the hospital without a name. The baby was just called baby Deeley, which p****d my husband off anyway.

'I like quite simple names but he likes names that are a bit out there. He actually loves Val, but my thing is he’s got to have a full name in case he’s a lawyer or doctor.

'So there was a whole thing and for a whole week after we left the hospital there was no name and we weren’t talking to each other. It was awful, it was just horrific.'

Cat eventually decided on her son's name, taken from a character in 1951 Gene Kelly movie An American In Paris, after being given an ultimatum by her frustrated mother.

'He has an art dealer friend and she’s called Milo,' she said. 'So she said "Why not call him Milo? Milo’s a boys name." 

'So we looked it up on the Internet and he’s an Olympian God who saved somebody.'

The presenter added that her son is growing fast, telling Kimmel: 'He’s a monster of a boy – I think I’ve given birth to a Laker. 

'He’s huge, he’s like an 11-month old baby right now. I’m hoping that when I’m old he’s going to look after me.'
