Dee and Dermot, 46, are set to welcome their child in the coming weeks, and Dermot looked thrilled about the impending arrival on social media recently. 

The TV presenter revealed in February that he and wife Dee are expecting their first child, after 18 years of being together. 

The couple got engaged back in 2011 and married a year later, after a decade of dating, in 2012 in a church ceremony held in Kent.

Dermot and Dee announced their baby news via a sweet post on Instagram of a board that read: ‘Koppang O’Leary productions presents “new arrival” coming soon.’

Dermot added the caption: ‘We’re pleased to announce that we’re expecting a little Koppang O’Leary.’

Since then, the country has gone into lockdown to try and control the spread of coronavirus during the current pandemic. Dermot touched on what it’s been like for Dee to be pregnant during such a strange time while recently appearing on The One Show. 

He told host Alex Jones: ‘We’re expecting end of June, early July… the perfect time to bring a child into this world!’

When Alex pointed out that lockdown would provide Dermot and his wife with the perfect opportunity to prepare themselves for their new arrival, Dermot replied: ‘Do you know what, that’s a good point actually.

‘We’re calling it the lockdown before the lockdown. We’re pretty much getting ourselves together.’
