Cat Deeley was outraged on This Morning during a money-saving segment with Jordon Cox after discovering there is a pink tax on products advertised for women.
This Morning’s Coupon King Jordon appeared on the ITV show on Wednesday to share his latest money-saving tips with Cat, 47, and her co-presenter Ben Shephard, 49.
While talking about the existence of a pink tax on razors, Cat was left “furious.”
The pink tax is not a tax in the literal sense. It refers to the fact that women pay more than men for the same or similar products and services.
During the show, Jordon let both hosts know that the pink tax doesn’t always apply to products, however, she added that “it still happens quite a bit.”

He also revealed that if a woman bought a pack of razors, she would buy fewer razors than her male counterpart, despite paying more than him.
Female buyers also pay more for the fragrance and color of a razor, which made Cat laugh sarcastically.
Then Jordon made the same distinction with the shaving cream and Cat could no longer contain her dismay.
She became furious: ‘I’m furious! I’m furious about this pink tax,” before adding: “I’m completely irritated, I’m definitely leaving it in the bag.”
The presenter then threw the tube of shaving cream she was holding into the bin before admitting she got into the habit of buying “boy socks” to avoid the tax.

Ben was dressed in a grey/blue sweater that had yellow trim on the sleeves.
In 2018, the pink tax was reported to still make it up to 35 percent more expensive to be a woman, a new study claims.
Everyday items such as razors, deodorants, and moisturizers are significantly priced when marketed to women compared to men.
RIFT Tax Refunds researchers analyzed hundreds of toiletries and beauty products at major UK retailers and compared the prices of men’s and women’s products on offer.
They found that, on average, women spend 6.28 percent more on disposable razors, 8.9 percent more on deodorant, and a staggering 34.28 percent more on facial moisturizers.
However, Boots said the products compared in the study were “not equal”.
She became furious: ‘I’m furious! I am furious with this pink tax, I am completely irritated, I will definitely put it in the bag before I throw the tube in the trash.
