10 minutes with...Cat Deeley

Do you prefer London?
There is a great standard of living here in LA and it's outdoorsy, which I love; you can be on the beach or skiing in 45 minutes. You can't beat a sunny afternoon in London, but it just doesn't happen very often.

Do you get starstruck bumping into people?
No, because there are so many huge stars just going about their daily life that you almost don't notice them. I get more starstruck when
I meet people on a plane.

Who have you met on a plane?
Tom Ford flew back to England with me. The word 'gentleman' was created for him; he opened every door for me and he looked exquisite. If we could all look like that after a long-haul flight, it would be amazing.

What does it take to crack America?
Oh my goodness, I have no idea. I think if someone is having a great time and is connecting with the moment, then the audience will connect with it, too.

Did you have to change yourself to work in America?
Nobody has tried to change anything about me, from what I look like, to what I wear, to how I talk, to what I say.

Everyone said Cheryl's accent was too heavy for America
It's hard for me to say because I worked with Ant and Dec for eight years so I understand her perfectly.

Why did you decide to make the move?
I was happy in London but when you become too comfortable you become complacent. It was about having an adventure and being a little scared, because you have to challenge yourself or you're
not really alive.

Do you still suffer from insomnia?
I go with the flow. When I want to sleep, I sleep and when I'm awake, I'm awake.

Can you dance?
No! I'm appalling, but my enthusiasm makes up for it. I invite the dancers from So You Think You Can Dance to my house for the 4th of July. This year I managed to do the Dirty Dancing lift, so maybe there's hope.

You covered the royal wedding for CNN. Are you a fan of William and Kate?
I think they make a lovely couple. I've met William and Harry and they're charming. Kate has handled the whole situation with dignity and charm. They seem like a normal couple in the most abnormal situation. I think they're cool.
