At 5 foot 9, Cat Deeley towers over many of the dancers she introduces as host of “So You Think You Can Dance.” Now her own news dwarfs what’s going on as the show nears season finale.
She’s pregnant.
Deeley, 38, announced Thursday on Twitter that she and her husband, 44-year-old Patrick Kielty, are expecting their first child.
