Producers for the popular series spent months researching the TV presenter’s family, who come from County Wexford, Ireland, with the hopes he could take part in an episode but weren’t impressed with what they found.
Speaking on the Snot, Sweat & Tears motherhood podcast, Dermot said: ‘They actually researched my family for about three months. They came back and said, “There’s just not enough interesting stuff about your family”.
‘Wexford is a port town, and my family are all seafaring folk. I have it on good authority that two of them went to America.

‘I just don’t think they were trying hard enough. It’s awful isn’t it? Absolutely awful.’
Dermot, who is married to Dee Koppang O’Leary, told how the coronavirus pandemic taught him to be more appreciative of ‘the smaller stuff’.

He said: ‘It makes you think, ‘Do I need that water that comes from Fiji or can I just filter some tap water?’
‘It’s appreciating the smaller stuff, whether it’s a cup of coffee or a walk in the park. It’s just turning off the phone and making time for yourself.
‘Please God, we don’t go back to working the way we used to. People don’t want to work like that. They weren’t happy, it makes you die young.’
