Dermot O'Leary shares pregnant wife Dee Koppang's due date and discusses baby names

Dermot O'Leary has revealed when his baby is due - and there's not long to go now.

The X Factor presenter, 46, and his wife Dee Koppang are expecting their first child, and he's now shared that the little one will arrive in late June or at the beginning of July.

This means Dee, 41, is around seven months pregnant.

He was standing in for Zoe Ball on her Radio Two Breakfast Show on Friday morning and interviewing Guy Garvey from Elbow when he revealed the news and discussed baby names.

Guy was talking about parenting his son during lockdown when he asked Dermot when he was going to become a dad.

Dermot said: "End of June, sort of early July-ish. That's exciting isn't it?

"I can't wait!"

Guy jokingly suggested that he name the little one after him, saying: "Guy is a nice name".

"It's very majestic," Dermot told him.

Also on the show today, Dermot jokingly bragged about how he was being selfless during Dee's pregnancy.

He said the night before he'd allowed Dee to have the bigger slice of fish at dinner.

Dermot joked: "I let my wife have a bigger portion of fish than me last night.

"Even though she's carrying my unborn child let me tell you that really stuck with me.

"It was hake!"

The couple revealed that Dee was expecting in February in an Instagram post.

Dermot wrote: "We're pleased to announce that we’re expecting a little Koppang O’Leary... @deekoppangoleary."
