“So, this is for you Kasper with a K… my wife is very insistent on that,” laughed Dermot, who is married to TV producer Dee Koppang.
Dee, 41, previously revealed that she’d faced a ‘rocky road’ to motherhood and the name she and Dermot have picked for their boy appears to acknowledge their journey.
As she thanked fans for their support after announcing her pregnancy, Dee wrote: “Just wanted to say thank you so so much for all the lovely messages about our news… 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.”
