Cat Deeley has revealed she decided to move back to the UK after husband Patrick Kielty and her son were caught up in a shopping mall shooting.
The Birmingham-born TV presenter has lived in Los Angeles for 14 years hosting US shows including So You Think You Can Dance and The Choice. But she and her family have now made the decision to return to Britain.
Deeley, 43, told YOU magazine how Irish comedian Kielty, 49, and her four-year-old son Milo were on a trip to the Century City Mall in LA when police officers arrived and told them to take cover because a gunman was on the loose.

The former SM:TV presenter said: “They shut down the centre. I got a call from Paddy, saying, ‘They’re taking us out through the fire exits but nobody can get to their car. If we walk to a junction, can you come and get us?’

“He wanted to keep Milo calm, so I didn’t understand the enormity of what was happening. as I was driving I began to see helicopters, news vans, firemen and SWAT [armed police response] squads. It makes me go funny now. It was terrifying.”
Deeley explained Kielty and her son had been in a fast food restaurant and were pushed into the kitchen, where the comedian distracted his son by playing Peppa Pig on his phone.
She said her husband was “shaken” by the incident but fortunately Milo, though “hot and cranky”, had not understood what was going on.
Deeley, who is also mother to two-year-old son James, admitted “fear” had played a part in the family’s decision to leave America.

She said: “There was a moment when I was with a friend looking at potential schools for Milo and we had to ask the question nobody wants to, ‘What do you do if there is a live shooter on the premises?’ They tell you exactly what would happen, whether the kids would go to a safe room or hide under the desks... The danger suddenly becomes a reality.”
Deeley and Kielty were friends for many years before they began dating. They married in Rome in 2012.

Major aluminium consumer Constellium's current plan is to keep buying from Russia's Rusal next year as it did in 2022, since it has not been put under sanctions, a Constellium executive told Reuters on Thursday. Aluminium producer Rusal's metal accounts for less than 5% of Constellium's overall purchases, the executive said, speaking under the condition of anonymity, adding that the share for 2023 would be similar but no final purchasing decision has been made.

LISBON (Reuters) -Two European Central Bank policymakers gave diverging views about the size of the ECB's future rate hikes on Thursday, pointing to some disagreement over whether last week's jumbo increase should be repeated. The ECB raised rates by an unprecedented 75 basis points a week ago and President Christine Lagarde hinted at another two or three rises at the coming meetings to fight record-high inflation. But ECB Vice President Luis de Guindos and Portugal's central bank governor Mario Centeno appeared to differ on Thursday about the size of the next moves.
It came as the euro area’s annual inflation rate came in as expected at 9.1% in August, up from 8.9% in July. This is more than three times the rate in August 2021.

BERLIN (Reuters) -The head of Austrian oil and gas group OMV said on Thursday that the EU's planned windfall levy could have a huge impact and criticised basing the proposal on profits of the last three years, which were not normal times. "We will keep an eye on that, as it can already have a massive impact," Alfred Stern told journalists, adding that the specifics of the proposal have not yet been set out so it was difficult to estimate the exact impact. Under EU plans announced on Wednesday, excessive profits from energy companies will be skimmed off and redistributed to ease the burden on consumers.
