PATRICK Kielty has moved into his ‘divorce house’ after his split from wife Cat Deeley, with family and friends said to be rallying around him in Dundrum, County Down.
The 54-year-old and This Morning host Cat, 48, left fans stunned when they confirmed their separation in July – after 13 years of marriage.

Now Patrick, who shares Milo, seven, and James, five, with his ex, is said to be spending most of his time at the stylish home in his native Northern Ireland.
The property overlooks the stunning Dundrum Bay and the Mourne Mountains, and comes complete with a games room, cinema, gym and spa.
Patrick and Cat used to stay at the house with their sons during visits to the picturesque village.
An insider told the Daily Mail: “He’s been lying low in the house for the past few weeks because he’s obviously got a lot to think about.
“He’s not been coming out as much as he usually does when he’s here and it’s been very hard for him but the whole family and his friends have been supporting him.”
But locals have spotted Patrick during outings with the boys, with one telling the publication they were seen in a pub not far from their home.
They said: “He was in here with the two boys and to be honest, seemed a lot quieter than he usually is.
“Normally, he’s not at the house very much because he spends most of his time away for work, but we all know that he’s been back in Dundrum for quite a while now.”
It comes after sources revealed that, after Cat was a no-show at the funeral of Patrick’s mother in March, his family “knew the marriage was over”.
A source said: “Whatever rockiness was going on in the marriage, something as momentous as his mother’s funeral, you would make up even temporarily and just put your ‘best face’ on as we say in Northern Ireland.
‘Cat obviously knew how close Patrick was to Mary and she should have come to be by his side, a hand on his shoulder as he buried his mother.
“The fact that she stayed in London and presented This Morning on the day, it’s not been forgotten.”
