The presenters of the British television program This Morning, Cat Deeley and Ben Shephard, began their post-National Television Awards (NTAs) show with evident signs of a late night after winning the award for Best Daytime Show. The pair, who hosted the morning after the awards ceremony, indulged in bacon sandwiches prepared by chef Jamie Oliver, noting that the inclusion of chili in the sandwiches aids in hangover recovery.
Deeley, 49, and Shephard, 51, returned to the studio following the previous night's festivities, where they accepted the award. Shephard humorously acknowledged the possibility of minor damage to the trophy, stating, "We got it here, might have a little graze on it, but that's another story for another day." Deeley added, "We won best daytime show, at last night's television awards, it was just fab, wasn't it?"
This post-awards morning appearance echoes a tradition set by former hosts Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield, who were known for their candid displays of hangovers after the NTAs. The show's director was also reported to have had a late night.
Chef Jamie Oliver explained the benefits of chili for hangovers, attributing it to capsaicin, which he described as "nature's natural form of morphine." He also noted its antiseptic and blood-thinning properties, suggesting it helps the body process the effects of the previous night's activities. The breakfast offering included smoky bacon and egg sandwiches with brown sauce and chili.
Deeley shared a personal anecdote about her son, Milo, waking up at 2 a.m. to ask about the award win. The This Morning team, including Friday hosts Alison Hammond and Dermot O'Leary, celebrated their win, which has become a recurring success for the program. The segment highlighted the presenters' lighthearted approach to their win and the associated celebrations.
