- Profession: Presenter
- Place/Date of Birth: 24 March 2020
Dermont said that it was through ’personal experience of a loved one with cancer’ that drove him to dedicate time to this charity - and he even recently ran the London Marathon to raise funds!
Philip Black, Fundraising Director of The Institute of Cancer Research said, "We are delighted that Dermot has agreed to take a leading role in the campaign. Here at everyman we are convinced that these type of awareness campaigns really do save lives and it is vital that the campaign works with high profile people such as Dermot, who can get the message across to other members of the public. His support will give a real boost to the campaign."

After two years though, the modest presenter has decided to quit the show that has made him a star. O’Leary also presented the spin-off programme Big Brother’s Little Brother on E4.
The live evening show features interviews with relatives, friends and work colleagues of the housemates as well as celebrities and psychologists, all discussing the goings-on in the human goldfish bowl.
He has been romantically linked in the past with loads of girls including Samantha Mumba and Billie Piper, (who confessed to being smitten by his ’sincere eyes’), but he insists that there’s no truth in the rumours. Dermot does have a girlfriend, but is a very private guy so has said nowt about her apart from she works in Tv, but behind teh scenes. He currently lives in Kensal Rise.
