Leonardo DiCaprio is so smitten with British TV presenter Cat Deeley he’s dubbed U.K. women the “loveliest in the world.” The actor, whose relationship with Israeli swimsuit model Bar Rafaeli is reportedly on the rocks, was thrilled to meet the 30-year-old beauty when she was filming hit TV talent show “So You Think You Can Dance” in Los Angeles last year.

He already has plenty of experience with English beauties – he’s appeared on screen alongside Kate Winslet and Kate Beckinsale in the past – but it’s Deeley who’s stolen his heart.

He gushes, “Cat’s lovely. But then most English girls are. This country churns out some of the loveliest women in the world.”
