Dermot O'Leary has said he's 'honoured' as he celebrated an achievement that not everyone will be able to boast. The This Morning host has received the Freedom of the City of London in recognition of his charitable work and patronage of charity the London Irish Centre.
The TV star, who also currently presents a weekend breakfast show on BBC Radio 2 as well as co-presenting Friday's edition of ITV daytime show with Alison Hammond, attended his ceremony at The Mansion House in London on Tuesday (November 1). After receiving the honour, Dermot said: "I am genuinely honoured to receive the Freedom of the City of London.
"Anyone who knows me will know that two of my great loves are this wonderful city and my Irish heritage so, to receive the Freedom alongside my London Irish Centre friends makes it all the more special. Countless Irish people, like my own parents, brought so much to this great city, so I would like to sincerely thank the Lord Mayor in honouring those experiences and contributions today, and I proudly and humbly accept this on their behalf."
