One viewer expressed their opinion on the morning show’s atmosphere, saying: “Andi is a bit over the top for a gloomy Monday morning.” Meanwhile, another viewer was sceptical about the new presenting duo: “This Andi Peter and Cat Deeley partnership looks like a for disaster, I don’t think Cat fancies Andi Peter’s as a co-presenter. Andi Peters and Rochelle is the best partnership on this morning.”
Yet, not everyone shared this sentiment, as one fan of the show remarked: “Their energy is better matched.” As they opened the show, Cat and Andi discussed how the weekend’s stormy weather had disrupted their plans.

In an enthusiastic call to action, Andi turned to the crew and exclaimed: “Book us in! Anyone want to come to the roller disco?!” His invitation was met with cheers from his colleagues, and he humorously added that Cat would be footing the bill for the tickets.
