She's firmly made her mark in LA as a ex-pat TV presenter.

And so Cat Deeley and her Irish husband Patrick Kielty were shoe-ins for the guest list at the Film Is Great Reception honoring the British nominees of the 89th Annual Academy Awards which are on Sunday.

Held at Fig & Olive in West Hollywood on Friday, the pair left their son with the sitter as they donned their finery and hit the party.

Cat's appearance comes as it was revealed this week that she could be set to return to the UK to mark the 20th anniversary of her former TV show SM:TV, which she hosted with Ant & Dec.

The show - which arguably was what propelled the trio to stardom - is being considered for a one-off reunion, according to the boys themselves.

Ant, who presented the ITV show alongside Dec and Cat Deeley from 1998, told Digital Spy: 'We were talking to somebody about this recently, because it's 20 years since the launch of SM:TV Live next year.

'So we were saying if there was appetite that we could do an anniversary special or something, and we kind of got carried away with the idea, didn't we?

'If we did just a one-off, and it had to be 9.25am, with Chums and all that, and get Cat back.'

Added Dec: 'We've kind of floated it around a few people, getting a straw poll and so far we've had some positive responses.'

Among the popular show's segments were Friends parody Chums and wacky game show Wonkey Donkey. Ant, Dec and Cat quit the show before it ended in 2003.

A possible reunion would be the perfect icing on enduring careers that recently saw the duo honoured with OBEs for their services to broadcasting.

Ant and Dec were in high spirits as they were joined by their respective wives as they collected their OBEs at Buckingham Palace late last month.

It topped off a monumental week for the pals, as they picked up three gongs during the National Television Awards, including their 16th consecutive TV presenter of the year award, an award for Saturday Night Takeaway in the best entertainment show category, and a third accolade for I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!

Although Ant & Dec's annual series I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! is one of the nation's most loved shows involving the double-act, the pair work continually through the year.

Having wrapped I'm A Celeb... ahead of Christmas, they are on the cusp of launching season 14 of Saturday Night Takeaway, and filming has already commenced on the 11th season of Britain's Got Talent.

Although firmly settled into the niche as 'fun for all the family' TV presenters, the pair started out as actors, then pop stars.

They met in 1989 on the set of BBC children's drama Byker Grove where they played PJ and Duncan (Dec was on the first season of the show, with Ant being cast during the second).
