Cat Deeley reminisced about Mariah Carey’s cameo in a historic episode of SM:TV Live, recalling how the iconic singer picked her own ‘monstrosity’ of an outfit.
Cat has reunited with former co-hosts Ant and Dec for a one-off documentary looking back at the hit children’s show.
During an appearance on The One Show, Cat told hosts Alex Jones and Ronan Keating about the iconic episode of Chums – SM:TV’s take on Friends – where Mariah walked Cat down the aisle on her fake wedding day.
‘She was absolutely lovely,’ Cat said of the diva before recalling an adorable behind the scenes moment.
‘She actually went to Virgin Brides herself to pick that monstrosity of a dress but she wanted to be lavender satin,’ the star laughed.
‘But, she proceeds to talk to Ant [McPartlin] about throwing shoes on top of bus stops – and that’s the thing that brought them together and connected them.’
On what Mariah was like ‘off camera’, the 43-year-old said: ‘As I was standing waiting to go on set, she fluffed my dress.
‘I said, “Mariah what are you doing? What you doing Mariah?” And she said, “You’ve got to look beautiful, it’s your wedding day!”‘
Declan Donnelly recently confirmed to Zoe Ball on her Radio 2 breakfast show that a reunion had been filmed.
He said: ‘There’s definitely an SM:TV reunion. We’ve filmed a show looking back at the story of SM:TV and how it came about. That’s going to be on later in the year. We’ve recorded that already.
‘We said, “We should just do another one time. Just do it. But do it 9.25 on a Saturday morning for three hours, get bands on”.

‘I don’t know, let’s see. We’d love to do it but I don’t know if we can.’
