Ben Shephard And Cat Deeley Prepare To Make Their This Morning Debut
This Morning released a teaser video just hours before Ben Shephard and Cat Deeley make their debut on the Daytime show on Monday morning.
The new hosts are permanently presenting ITV's This Morning, replacing Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby.
Posting on ITV's social media, a member of the crew could be seen wandering around the studios preparing for Cat, 47, and Ben, 49, to take center stage.
Adjusting their self portraits on the wall, he also placed brand new mugs with their initials on and knocked on their dressing room doors to hurry them up.
He quipped: 'Ben Shephard, this is your four minute call'.

'Cat Deeley...', She responded: 'On the way!'
The crew added: 'It's showtime!'
Fans flooded the comments with excitement of them finally taking over the This Morning show.
Some wrote: 'Have a fab first week!', others penned: 'This is so so exciting! See you soon.'
'Yaaaay Ben shepherd ❤️ he's perfect for this xx'
'Wishing @catdeeley and 'benshephard good luck for their 1st show presenting.'
Cat was seen in New York City last week, just two days before she kicked off her This Morning stint.
Her new role will mean she could reportedly lose her long-time role on So You Think You Can Dance in the US, where she was paid £43k an episode - instead opting for the role on This Morning with a reported £550k annual salary.

It had been claimed that Cat was finally won round with a lucrative deal, but insiders at ITV denied the claims - insisting it was the ability to spend more time with family, over a big money online payday loans no credit check, that finally sealed the deal.
Cat's husband Patrick, with whom she shares two children, is the host of Ireland's The Late Late Show and her role on This Morning would bring her closer geographically to her husband rather than her US job.
When reports of her joining the show first emerged last year it was claimed she and Ben would receive an annual salary of £555,000.
While hefty, the salary still paled in comparison to former hosts Holly and Phil, who were said to have been paid £700,000 annually for their role.
Ben had his final GMB show on February 23, leaving his 'on-screen wife' Kate Garraway after nearly 20 years.
He said at the time: 'One of the hardest decisions of course is knowing that my mornings with Kate, my on-screen wife of nearly 20 years, is coming to an end.'
The news was confirmed via a bespoke promo on This Morning's Twitter last month, showing Ben walking down the familiar This Morning production corridor and placing a new photo of Cat on the wall, before turning to the camera as the photo comes to life.
Cat said: 'This Morning is a national institution. Whenever it's on, it's like having your friends over - funny, smart, silly, heartfelt, informative and joyful - like all the greatest friendships!...

'This Morning is and always will be the viewer's show. Ben and I both know how much people love it, and with the help of an amazing team of people, we're going to do our best to take care of it.'
Ben added: 'This really feels like a very special moment for Cat and I to be part of the next chapter of This Morning. It's an honour to be trusted with the reigns, join Alison and Dermot and all the team that work on and off screen and do such a great job...
'For the last ten years I've been waking up with our ITV daytime audience on GMB and I now look forward to spending time with Cat...
'Welcoming the viewers home after the school run or from their early morning routines, with a cup of tea and a mix of everything that makes This Morning so loved.'
This Morning's Editor, Martin Frizell said: 'The team and student loans I have relished the opportunity to try new things these past few months and remind viewers what a massively talented team both on and off screen we have here at This Morning...
'We can't wait to welcome Ben and Cat fully into the fold next month and witness the start of another exciting chapter in the show's 35 year journey.'
