In addition to her television hosting endeavors, Cat is the face of Pantene in the UK. She hosted produced a two part special for BBC America titled Royally Mad as well as a web series called In The Dressing Room, which lives on Yahoo.

Deeley also joined Anderson Cooper and Piers Morgan as a special correspondent to cover the broadly viewed Royal Wedding for CNN Worldwide. Plus, she hosted the 2011 British Academy of Film and Television Arts' Brits To Watch event in Los Angeles, which was attended by the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge.
