TV presenter Cat Deeley was absent from her mother-in-law Mary Kielty's funeral as she remained at home to look after their two young sons. Patrick Kielty, Cat's husband, bravely attended the service in County Down, carrying his mother's coffin.
Cat Deeley didn't attend her mother-in-law's funeral as her husband Patrick Kielty bravely went without her. The ITV This Morning host, 48, was notably absent from yesterday's service in County Down and now the heartbreaking reason why has been revealed.
The notice added that she "will be sadly missed and lovingly remembered by her entire family circle, neighbours and friends". Mary was the proud mother of Patrick along with his brothers John and Cahal. Patrick's father, Jack Keilty, was killed in 1988 by loyalist paramilitaries, leaving Mary to raise the three boys. While Patrick and Cat have high-profile careers as TV presenters, Mary was happy to be out of the spotlight.
He said: "I think Irish mummies never really understand what age their youngsters actually are. So you do get a lot of offers like 'Do you have any washing' and I would be like 'Well no, no that's done, I'm 53 mum."
