The clip also featured co-hosts Alison Hammond and Dermot O'Leary, who present the Friday instalment.

The presenters looked glamourous as they filmed a short promo on the roof at the top of the ITV studios.

Cat looked incredible in a neon yellow suit and Alison dazzled in a red co-ord.

While Dermot opted for a t-shirt and Ben went for a red polo shirt.

The camera then shot to Cat and Ben in the studio as they received a warm welcome back.

Ben told viewers: "We had so much fun, that promo that was up on the roof, we had to be cherry picked up there."

Cat said: "It took seven minutes for each person to go up there and seven minutes to come down.

"It was hot, it was windy, there was no water and I desperately needed to pee."

Ben revealed: "We had to halt proceedings for Deeley to go back down in the cherry picker.

"There were hard helmets and there were harnesses, weren't there."

Ben then asked: "Have you had a nice summer? You look nice and tanned."

Cat replied: "I had a really nice time just hanging out with the family, we're like 'we're all having such a nice time, shall we stay a bit?', so we did."

Ben then revealed that his 18-year-old son Sam also returned for the summer.

He said: "He's been away for seven and a half months, he's off to university next month."

The pair were last seen on our screens on July 11.
