Good morning, everyone! Did you catch yesterday's episode of This Morning? It was quite a shocker! Our beloved host, Dermot O'Leary, revealed his real name and it left viewers gobsmacked. Yes, you heard that right - Dermot O'Leary is not his real name! Can you believe it?
It all started when Dermot's co-host, Cat Deeley, asked him if he had a middle name. To everyone's surprise, Dermot revealed that his first name is actually Sean. Sean Dermot O'Leary, to be exact. Even Cat was taken aback and couldn't believe that she had been working with Dermot for so long without knowing his real name.
As expected, viewers were just as shocked as Cat and took to social media to share their surprise. Dermot himself couldn't resist making a joke about it and even asked Cat if her husband's first name, Patrick, was also a fake name. Oh, the irony!
But why did Dermot go by his middle name all this time? Well, it turns out that it's quite common for Irish parents to give their children a traditional Irish name and then call them by a different name. And that's exactly what happened to Dermot. He's always been called Dermot, but his official first name is Sean.
However, this has caused some confusion for Dermot, especially when it comes to legal documents. He shared that a mix-up at the passport office resulted in him having both Dermot and Sean Dermot on different passports. Talk about a complicated situation!
But where did the name Dermot come from, you may ask? Well, it's his middle name, as we now know. And it seems like viewers were just as curious as we were. Some were even wondering where his name came from in the first place. As it turns out, it has Irish roots, just like his upbringing.
Dermot's parents moved from Ireland to Essex when he was young, and he was brought up in a tight-knit Irish community. He fondly remembers his childhood, filled with love, laughter, and discussions about politics and religion over dinner. Despite not having much money, Dermot's home was full of warmth and Irish culture, with crucifixes on the wall and Irish music playing in the background.
Well, there you have it, folks. Dermot O'Leary's real name is Sean Dermot O'Leary, and we can't wait to see what other surprises he has in store for us on This Morning. Make sure to tune in every weekday at 10am on ITV1. And if you have a celebrity story, video, or pictures, don't hesitate to reach out to us. We'd love to hear from you!
