Speaking on his BBC Radio 2 slot yesterday, Dermot explained his tot had arrived to the sound of One Day Like This by Elbow.
“As I mentioned earlier, my son came into this world about 10 days ago accompanied by my favourite band – a lovely Guy Garvey Elbow accompaniment.
"So forgive this moment of brief self-indulgence while we play the song that accompanied that,” the X Factor host said.
Finally confirming his son’s name, he said, “So this is for you, Kasper with a K – my wife is very insistent on that," Dermot added with a laugh.
"Kasper Koppang O'Leary, welcome to the world.”
