The real reason Cat Deeley missed her mother-in-law's funeral is revealed after her bereft husband Patrick Kielty was seen carrying the coffin into the service


The This Morning host, 48, was notably absent as husband Patrick Kielty's late mother Mary was laid to rest on Monday in County Down.

A spokesperson for Cat has told MailOnline the real reason she wasn't at today's religious burial held in honour of Patrick's late mother was to be present for her two sons, Milo, eight, and James, five, before and after they finished school. Patrick wore a dark grey suit with a white tie as he laid his mother to rest with his brothers John and Cahal, joined by dozens of mourners. It was a case of mistaken identity, with the killers believing Jack to be an officer in the IRA, a link that was immediately dismissed by the Royal Ulster Constabulary and family members.
