Dermot O'Leary reveals real name on air, surprises co-host Cat Deeley

Dermot O'Leary revealed on This Morning that his real name is Sean Dermot O'Leary, surprising co-host Cat Deeley. He explained that he has always been called Dermot, despite his official name being Sean. Dermot shared a humorous story about confusion at the Irish passport office, where officials only recognized him as Dermot. He noted that this dual naming can be legally confusing. Viewers reacted with surprise on social media, expressing disbelief at the revelation. Dermot is currently co-hosting with Cat Deeley while Ben Shephard is away working on a new ITV project in New Zealand.
