Dermot O'Leary reveals gift Holly Willoughby gave to him on her wedding day to husband Dan as he had special role

manchestereveningnews.co.uk:

Dermot O'Leary has given a rare insight into Holly Willoughby's wedding to her husband Dan Baldwin. The This Morning host walked down the aisle in a star-studded ceremony back in 2007.

The loved-up couple, who met in 2004 when Holly returned to CITV to co-present Ministry of Mayhem with fellow ITV star Stephen Mulhern which was being produced by the company Dan co-founded, said 'I do' at St Michael's Church on the South Downs in West Sussex. And the reason Dermot knows all about is that the former X Factor and now This Morning presenter was an usher for the couple. Holly's bridesmaids consisted of former Celebrity Juice co-star Fearne Cotton, MTV presenter Sarah Cawood, as well as her sister and a few childhood friends and Dan's brother Dom was his best man alongside another close friend.

During the latest cooking segment on This Morning on Monday (April 4), which is being hosted all week by Dermot and co-host Alison Hammond in Holly and Phillip Schofield's absence, the presenters were joined by Clodagh McKenna.

The Irish chef was on hand with her signature brunch dish of asparagus 'mimosa', an egg-based dish with crispy pancetta due to the milder winter prompting a slightly earlier start to the asparagus season.

During her appearance, the conversation turned to bay leaves and this is when Dermot confessed he's got his own bay tree growing in his back garden thanks to Holly and Dan.

He said: "At Holly and Dan's wedding they gave everyone a little bay tree, so we planted it in our back garden and now it's huge! We use it for cooking all the time - thanks Holly!"

And Clodagh and Alison appeared impressed by Holly
