In celebration of their seventh wedding anniversary last month, Dermot shared a touching message for Dee, posting: “Seven years married to this superhero.
“Never a second wasted in her company. Like the boss says, ‘We love the company of those who reflect the best of us’.
“Happy to reside in the shadow of your eclipse @deekoppangoleary… and she never spilt a drop of that espresso martini.”
Following the pregnancy announcement, friends and fans rushed to congratulate the couple, with presenter Holly Willoughby writing: “This is just such wonderful news… love you both.”

The TV presenter previously spoke to Fabulous Magazine in 2015 about children, saying: “I definitely want kids, but I’ve got a very busy wife with a very busy life.
“It’s not fair for me to say, ‘I want kids now’. I do want kids with my wife, but I want them when we both think it’s the right thing to happen.”
Congratulations Dermot and Dee!
