Dermot O'Leary's famous wife who has worked on Bridgerton and The Split

Dermot O'Leary is a television and radio presenter known for his roles on The X Factor, Soccer Aid, Comic Relief and the National Television Awards. More recently Dermot took over Friday's instalment of ITV's This Morning alongside Alison Hammond, with the pair also presenting the show on school and bank holidays.

And while Dermot is a familiar face on screen his wife Dee Koppang also boasts a hugely successful TV career. Dee has worked on Netflix's The Crown and Bridgerton and most recently was the lead director on the third season of BBC's The Split, which stars Nicola Walker and Stephen Mangan.

Speaking about sharing directing duties with writer Abi Morgan on the popular BBC One series, Dee explained: "It was wonderful because it felt like my directorial debut as well, as I come from a second-unit background. The Split was my first time as lead director, so the first time I was in charge of a whole episode, let alone a series. No pressure!"
