HAIR RAISING

YoungThatter: @radioleary NEVER EVER go bald again, I beg you!!!

Dermot O’Leary is the official tosser as he attends charity ‘real football’ match in country attire

He is a loveable household name known for his various roles on the TV and the radio. But on Friday Dermot O’Leary tried his hand at something else, as he took on the role of the official tosser at charity ‘real football’ match. 

 Dressed in full country attire the X Factor host got the game off to a flying start by throwing in the ball. Completing his look he wore a blue flat cap, leather gloves and scarf around his neck for the match which was held in Chiddingstone, Kent – the same place where he got married last year. Despite not being known for his sporting prowess the 39-year-old looked more than comfortable handling the ball. And when the game, which is believed to be a mix of rugby and football, began the radio DJ really got into the spirit of it and was seen cheering from the sidelines. 

Dermot was joined by his wife Dee Koppang who looked chic in a stylish blue overcoat with gold buttons, a tweed hat with a bobble on top and a pair of wellington boots.  Following the game, he tweeted: 'Thanks to all at Chiddingstone for another great day #gemofengland, 'Quite surreal game of no rules football. #chiddingstonerealfootball #countrydrunks.' It is no surprise that the TV personality was invited along to the game, as he is very passionate about football. Not only does he support Arsenal F.C., Celtic F.C. and London Irish RUFC, he also supports Wexford GAA in Gaelic Games. Earlier this month Dermot was forced to close down one of his fish restaurants, in Poole, Dorset due to the economic climate. However despite the Fishy Fishy eatery coming to an end there, his Brighton Branch of the show continues to go from strength to strength. Meanwhile Dermot is gearing up to present the X Factor for the sixth year running. Speaking recently about the role he insisted that the show is about talent and hard work and is not for ‘wannabes.’
