So you think you can ride: Cat Deeley horses around in Los Angeles

Cat Deeley is clearly embracing American culture since moving to Los Angeles after she was spotted honing her cowgirl skills at the weekend.

The TV presenter spent the blistering hot weekend at a horse ranch in the Santa Monica mountains.

Dressed appropriately for the activity in blue jeans, vest and boots, the 31-year-old Brummie looked like she was quickly mastering her riding skills.

Deeley looked enthralled with the activity and laughed with a male companion - possibly her instructor - as she trotted around the hills.

After dismounting from her steed, the former Stars In Their Eyes host happily mucked in and packed away her riding career after her excursion.

Deeley is currently starring on US TV in the new series of So You Think You Can Dance, a Pop Idol-style show which sees producers searching America for the country's best dancers.

After Star In Their Eyes finished in 2006, Deeley has spent most of her time Stateside.

She started hosting So You Think You Can Dance in 2006 and has also guest presented for The Tonight Show and award coverage for The Oscars, Golden Globes and Grammys.

The star is set to return to British TV screens later this year to host new dating show The Big Match.

Deeley is believed to be single after splitting from long-term love, PR director Mark Whelen in 2006.
