Cat Deeley Revives Wonkey Donkey Chaos on 'This Morning', Absolute Madness Ensues!

'This Morning's monday episode was a trip down memory lane for Cat Deeley and co-host Rylan Clark, who brought back the beloved game Wonkey Donkey. The unexpected revival took place during the popular Spin To Win segment.

Caller Peter, who had just secured an £800 prize through Spin To Win, found himself with an additional game to play—the iconic Wonkey Donkey. In a nod to Cat Deeley, Rylan proposed reintroducing the game after a two-decade break. Recreating the magic of the past, the hosts brought back the original theme, logo, and playful camera angles that made Wonkey Donkey a Saturday morning favorite on 'SMTV Live' across the nation. Rylan declared, "Today, it is back!"

Cat, with a nod to her former co-hosts Ant and Dec, joined in on the fun. "Now, this wasn’t actually my bit, but I’m gonna go with it," she teased, setting the stage for the chaotic hilarity that followed.


The rules of Wonkey Donkey were reintroduced to the audience. The game involves showing a stuffed animal, such as a donkey missing a leg, and labeling it a "Wonkey Donkey." The crucial element of the game is that the answer must rhyme. Cat explained the rules, stating that it was very simple. She mentioned that they would show a stuffed animal, citing a donkey missing a leg as an example and it would be labeled a "Wonkey Donkey."

Despite the simplicity of the game, the real challenge lies in the rhyming aspect. Caller Peter faced a plush monkey with shades, a fur coat, and a sparkly guitar. However, he initially struggled to find the right rhyme, repeating the words "Wonkey Donkey." Even Cat's playful clue that the monkey "likes some phat beats" only got Peter as far as "guitar monkey."
After some friendly prompting, Peter finally landed on "Funky Monkey," meeting the rhyme requirement and securing the prize. The amusing exchange had viewers in stitches and hoping for more of Wonkey Donkey in future episodes.

Social media buzzed with positivity as fans expressed their joy at the revival of the iconic game. Some viewers went a step further, endorsing Cat Deeley and Rylan Clark as the new duo for 'This Morning.' One fan expressed their excitement on Twitter, stating that they loved seeing Wonkey Donkey back and urged to keep it, finding it hilarious. The fans also requested to keep the duo of Cat Deeley and Rylan, as they were great together.
