20 Things You Didn't Know About Dermot O’Leary
That title may be misleading because frankly I have no idea how much or how little you know about Dermot O’Leary.
You may be a crazed stalker or you may be Dermot himself, in which case here are 20 facts you definitely knew about everyone’s favourite shiny-suit wearing, disco-dancing Saturday night presenter.
To be honest even if you aren’t a super-fan you probably know about half of these. Whatever, just have a quick read after the jump!

1 His real first name is Seán, his middle name is Dermot.
2 His mum and dad are from Wexford and Dermot would visit Ireland every summer as a child.
3 He has dual Irish and British citizenship and says “I’ve always had an Irish passport and obviously growing up in Essex is different from growing up in Limerick or Tipperary or Wexford but I’m still Irish. To me there’s no difference between being second-generation Irish and second-generation Asian.”
4 He played American Football as a teenager for the Colchester Gladiators.
5 He has a 2.2 in Media Technology and Politics from Middlesex University.
6 While studying there he was a member of the chess society.

12 He has said a few times that he’d be interested in hosting the Irish ‘lovely girls’ competition ‘The Rose of Tralee’.
13 Dermot supports Arsenal and Celtic, when it comes to rugby London Irish are his team, and he supports Wexford in the GAA (naturally).
14 He was an usher as Holly Willoughby’s wedding.
15 He won GQ’s ‘most stylish man of the year’ award in 2012.
16 Dermot is a practising Roman Catholic and has written about why he sticks with the faith.
17 His wife Dee Koppang was a producer and director on Channel 4′s reality show ‘Shipwrecked’.
18 He recently closed his ‘Fishy Fishy’ restaurant in Poole after two and a half years. He still own another one in Brighton.
19 He kisses the window before going to sleep every night. - “This is really weird but I kiss the window before I go to bed each night. “I don’t why, I’ve just always done it. Even when I’m drunk, I don’t forget.”
20 He says he wants ‘Tonight We Fly’ by The Divine Comedy played at his funeral.
