Dermot O'Leary in the Lemon Tree in Letterkenny
The Lemon Tree in Letterkenny expressed their delight as they welcomed broadcaster Dermot O'Leary.
The presenter is in Ireland to film a second series of his show, Dermot's Taste of Ireland on ITV, which has reached over 3.3 million viewers in Britain. The ten-part series, produced by Rock Oyster Media and supported through the Shared Island Tourism Brand Collaboration Project, will air on ITV1 and on the streaming service ITVX next spring.
O'Leary was born in Colchester to Wexford parents and presented the television talent show The X Factor on ITV from 2007 until its final series in 2018. Since 2021, O'Leary has presented ITV's This Morning and joined BBC Radio 2 in 2004 and currently presents the Saturday morning breakfast show.
