The This Morning presenter married Dee in 2012

Dermot O’Leary and Dee Koppang are celebrating 12 years of marital bliss, and the This Morning presenter has marked the occasion by sharing an ultra-rare photo from their special day.

The snapshot from their wedding reception, which took place in Kent in 2012, saw the couple radiating happiness and joy as they danced along to a live band.

Dee, who is a film and television director and producer, looked sensational in her wedding gown, which was a classically chic, silk gown with short sleeves lined with pretty, delicate lace.

Dee then polished off her bridal look with her hair in a bouffant style with flowers, while Dermot looked extremely smart in his white shirt, tie and waistcoat ensemble.

The pair got hitched at St. Mary’s Church Chiddingstone, Kent, before hosting a reception at nearby Chiddingstone Castle where they partied away with friends and family.

Posting the joyous photo on his Instagram page, Dermot, 51, wrote simply: “12 years!” followed by a red love-heart emoji. The broadcaster’s comments section was then flooded with congratulatory messages from fans and other names in the public eye.

This Morning co-star Alison Hammond wrote: “Congratulations”, alongside a string of love-heart-eyes emojis. All Saints singer Nicole Appleton said: “Omgoodness! Happy Anniversary,” while a fan wrote: “Photo says it all, happy anniversary.”

Another said sweetly: “Happy Anniversary to you both!! Hope you have many, many, more.”
