The This Morning presenter, who recently kicked off her first official week as co-host alongside Ben Shephard, opened up about her health hack that had unintended consequences for her teeth.
In an interview with Ella & Jo Cosmetics, Cat disclosed her morning routine, which included a seemingly innocuous habit: drinking a cup of hot water However, she issued a warning to others: “I used to have hot water and lemon, but do not do that, folks; it will wreck your teeth,” she admitted. After two decades of this practice, Cat found herself at the dentist’s office, where she learned that the enamel on her teeth had suffered due to the acidic combination. Now, she sticks to plain hot water to preserve her dental health1.
But Cat’s beauty journey isn’t just about teeth. She’s had her fair share of style experiments, some more successful than others. Here are her candid admissions:
Terrible Perm: Cat confessed to having endured a less-than-flattering perm at one point. The wild curls might have been trendy back then, but they left her feeling less than fabulous.
Mushroom Bob: In another hair-related mishap, Cat decided to go for a short haircut, but it ended up resembling a “giant mushroom.” Sometimes, even celebrities have their hair days!
Despite these beauty blunders, Cat remains relatable and down-to-earth. She acknowledges the challenges of balancing motherhood, career, and self-care. As she juggles TV commitments, travel, and launching a new fragrance oil, her priorities remain clear: her children, Milo and James1.
So, the next time you reach for that morning cup of hot water, remember Cat’s cautionary tale. And if you’re contemplating a perm or a daring haircut, perhaps consult with a stylist first—unless you’re aiming for the mushroom chic look! 🍄
