In 2007, she presented the UK coverage of the sixth series of American Idol for ITV2. She filmed segments and interviews with guests and eliminated contestants for UK audiences that were shown just before and after advertising breaks. However, this was not popular with viewers who saw Deeley’s role as ‘unnecessary’. She did not return for the seventh series American Idol in 2008.

Deeley was the face of Shape Water and a number of Garnier Fructis products, appearing in print and television advertising in the UK and Ireland.

On 1 July, 2007, Deeley was one of many speakers at the Concert For Diana. The event, watched by an estimated 500 million, was at the new Wembley Stadium.

In January 2008, a new series of So You Think You Can Dance started its auditions, with Deeley again hosting.

On 12th October 2008, Deeley played herself as host of Peter Kay’s Britain’s Got The Pop Factor … And Possibly A New Celebrity Jesus Christ Soapstar Superstar Strictly On Ice .
