Cat Deeley shows off her Menace-ing side at TV bash

CAT Deeley looks almost Menace-ing as she poses for pics at a TV bash.

The sexy presenter appeared to be channelling cartoon favourite Dennis The Menace last night, wearing his trademark red stripes to the launch party for US reality show Dukes Of Melrose.

The So You Think You Can Dance host, 36, had teamed a red and navy blue crop top, which showed off her super-flat stomach, with a matching pleated skirt.

And she opted for rather severe make-up for the Los Angeles do, which was hosted by Harper's Bazaar magazine, luxury leather company MCM and vintage clothing brand Decades, sporting bright red lippy, and dark smoky eyes.

Cat, who spends most of the year living in the US, attended the bash alone as it is thought her hubby Patrick Kielty is currently working in the UK.

Brummie Cat wed the Northern Irish comic in Rome in September last year after an 11-month romance.

She recently told Red magazine how she fell for her friend of ten years after he jetted to the US to celebrate her 34th birthday with her in October 2011.

She said: "I told him I was having brunch with friends here at the Beverly Hills Hotel.

"He got on a plane to London, then another plane to LA, then he came straight from the airport with his bags, walked in, sat down and had birthday brunch with me.

"And then, when I went to pay for everybody, they wouldn’t take my card because it had all been taken care of.

"That’s quite possibly the most romantic thing anyone has ever done for me.

"And he was just sitting there hanging out with 12 of my friends, making everybody laugh. It was bloody romantic, noble, kind of amazing and pretty hard not to fall in love with him."
