Broadcaster Dermot O’Leary is well known for his many presenting gigs on British TV, but he is also the father of a baby boy and husband to an accomplished TV director.
Dermot became a household name during his time presenting the X Factor singing contest.
Currently, Dermot presents ITV’s This Morning on Fridays and holidays alongside Alison Hammond. He also has a weekend breakfast show on BBC Radio 2.
However, his wife, Dee Koppang, is successful in her own right, having worked on many popular TV shows.
She was an assistant director on two royal shows: the Regency-era Bridgerton and the more modern The Crown , which depicts the current British royal family.

They were engaged while in New York in 2011. The happy couple tied the knot ten years after they first met in the beautiful Chiddingstone, Kent.
The private couple had a baby boy in 2020, in the midst of Covid. Their son is named Kaspar.
Dee previously opened up about her struggle with fertility issues, saying: “It’s been a rocky road to get here, so I wanted to send lots of love to any of you who are on that journey. Hang on in there. Sending love.”
