This Morning legend has given their verdict on Cat Deeley and Ben Shephard and branded them a “safe choice.”
Rustie Lee who has regularly featured on ITV’s This Morning since 2012 to host a cooking segment admitted that she enjoyed the way the show used a mix of different presenters before the duo.
The chef also confessed that she believes she “could present extremely well on the show.”
Speaking on the My Dirty Laundry podcast, Rustie said: “I liked how they were going with different presenters all the time. They’ve never invited me to be a presenter.”
“I’m sure I could present extremely well on that show. It wouldn’t be the first time I’ve done it.”
I’ve had radio shows in Birmingham. I was radio presenter on a show in Birmingham, West Midlands, BBC Radio,” she explained.
“So, you know, they’ve never said, ‘Oh, Rustie you should present’. I would love to present and show them that it’s something I can do with people. You have to be good with people.”
She continued: “I think that Cat and Ben are good. It’s what people want. I liked the mix with people like Alison Hammond and Josie Gibson – people from different walks of life.”
“I think they’re going with a steady hand but I saw Cat Deeley work on the show and she did well. Ben Shephard is amazing too, he’s a good family man.”
“But I think how they were going since the Phillip Schofield situation [before that], was nice because it gives everyone a chance to do something.”
“But good luck to them. I wish them the best. Of course I do.”
When asked if she would be a good choice to host, Rustie added: “I would love to do it. There’s no reason why I shouldn’t do it.”
“A lot of people in Britain know me. There’s no reason why I shouldn’t do it. Simple as that,” she concluded.
