Dermot O'Leary reveals pregnant wife Dee Koppang's baby due date
Dermot O'Leary and his wife Dee Koppang are expecting their first child together - and there's not long to go now.
The X Factor presenter has revealed that Dee is due to give birth in late June or early July, meaning she's about seven months pregnant.
He revealed the news during a chat with Elbow frontman Guy Garvey on Zoe Ball's BBC Radio 2 Breakfast Show, which he was standing in for.
Guy was discussing parenting his own son during lockdown and asked Dermot when he was due to become a dad.
Dermot replied: "End of June, sort of early July-ish. That's exciting isn't it? I can't wait!"
Guy then joked Dee and Dermot should name their unborn child after him, saying: "Guy is a nice name".
Dermot politely replied: "It's very majestic."
