T4 - Dermot O'Leary The lovely Dermot dropped into chat once again to answer your questions. Chat Ed : Right, we'll get cracking shall we? Welcome Dermot :) Cyndi Lauper Tea Bag : elo0o0o0o0o0o dermot Dermot : Hello everyone, just come off air. Hope you're all well. Don't abuse me! Chat Ed : Hehe SupaSam : would you pose naked for a
million? Dermot : No. I couldn't look my mother in the eye... but then again... for a million I could look her in both eyes! loopy : Dermot, what's your favourite clothes store, do you have any aspirations not yet achieved and who's the nicest person you've ever met? Dermot : Nigel Hall and Dunhill for clothes. Loads of aspirations, I want to have my own production company and get married and have kids. Nicest person was Jennifer Love Hewitt, we met her on T4 last week, goes out in a couple of weeks. sexy lovebug : what's been the highlight of your career so far? Dermot : I think the day we did Party in the Park, even though it was a bit of a shambles, but we worked for 12 hours straight on camera and it was just a huge day. We had various technical problems and stuff though, but we were really proud of it. essexgirl : so dermot are u goin to do party in the park again this yr? Dermot : No, because Ant and Dec are doing it this year. We're doing the Smash Hits Awards this year. But I might be down there anyway. Mr BagofPants : what is the most embarrassing moment you have experienced on TV? Dermot : Umm... how long have you got!
When we have technical difficulties it's hard...
and my talkback cut out once, which was horribly
embarrassing because I was slapping my bum and
didn't realise I was still on air! Also when
I was on the Bigger Breakfast with Josie we
got a fax from someone saying they had the shortest
night shift ever on the night of the eclipse
and I read it out on air as the shortest night
shit ever. Ktaffgirl : lol ashley : so dermot how did u get the job on t4 and was presenting what u wanted to do? Dermot : I used to be a researcher and thought I'd give it a go. Me and Margherita stood in for Ben for one day and they decided they liked the idea of two people doing it together and so it went from there really. So now we've been doing it for about two and a half years. j9 : why are you leaving t4? Dermot : I've done it for 2 and a half years and thought it was time for a change, and learnt as much as I could there. I'd quite like to go and do something else, but I will miss it. I've got 2 shows for Channel 4 coming up and a show for the BBC coming up. xzoex : Woo Hoo!!!!! Leanne : Who is taking over from you on T4? Dermot : We've made T4 as successful as we can, and we want it to continue to get as much respect as possible. Sonal : Who would u love to interview? Who is the most rude person u have met? Dermot : I got Mick Hucknall on a very bad day. I'd love to do Paul Newman, he's great. But quite often actors and actresses are very disappointing in real life - quite shy. Roberto : Who was your child hood hero? Dermot : My Dad and Bruce Springsteen. And an Irish writer called Brendan Beehan. Mr Piggy : I hear you're single Dermot,
how do you manage this considering the number
of women who sta...er... like... you? Dermot : I've got a girl in mind and we're hopefully in the process (god I make it sound like buying a house!) of seeing each other, and so she's the ideal woman really. But if I can't have her, Rachel from S Club 7 will do, but she's with a very good man. Emma110281 : is she famous? Dermot : No, she's not. I've made that mistake twice and it's never gonna happen again. jas : who is your favourite Big Brother housemate? Dermot : Dean and Brian. Miss Naughty : if u were in the BB house who would u have nominated? Dermot : Probably Narinder, but she got a lot better in the second week, or maybe Amma. Julianna ODonnel : would you ever do celebrity big brother???? Dermot : No, they asked me last time, I said no. Erika Styles : Dermot, do you ever feel 'starstruck' when meeting guests on T4? Dermot : I try not to. But when I met Richard Harris, I had no idea what to say, I was like please don't speak to me or I'll die, or at least I'll spontaneously combust. Tiffany : Would you consider an acting career???? Dermot : Absolutely not, I couldn't act my way out of a paper bag. Know your limitations is what I say. Lesley : Have you ever thought about joining a boy band? Dermot : I would loved to have been in Orange Orange otherwise known as Upside Down in the early 90s. There were rumours that I was in one when I was younger, which was hysterical. Long legs : Can u sing? Dermot : I can hold one note which is great at Irish Christenings and funerals but practically useless everywhere else. bob : What's your earliest childhood memory? Dermot : I used to think that I got
struck by lightning, but I think I made that
up. hannah : lol Dermot : I used to think I'd seen a ghost as well captain_ric : Do you have any peculiar
phobias? Dermot : I hate rats and if I'm lying down and I haven't got much space between me and the ceiling, that freaks me out. kookai : What's your worst nightmare? Dermot : I have a terrible nightmare that my teeth keep falling out. It's awful. Some people say it means I'm coming into money, others say it means I'm paranoid. So who knows! fifi bad mof : what hair care products would you endorse? Dermot : With my hair!? Chat Ed grins Dermot : I don't think I'm in a position to endorse any! Maybe a make of razor or shaving stuff. Jess : if you could have one wish in the world wot would it be? Dermot : I'd like to be able to speak Italian, but that probably wouldn't be my main wish. I'd have to come back to you on that one. j9 : dermot, what's the worst job you've eva had? Dermot : I used to flip burgers at Wembley Stadium and the sweat would pour off me into the burgers. And they would never let us take our jumpers off. We used to get robbed and everything, it was horrible. Littlemiss_OLeary : ewwwwwwwwww Chat Ed : OK y'all - our half hour is up now, so last three questions now, thanks... Leanne : What's the funniest rumour you've heard about yourself? Dermot : That I went out on a date with Janet Jackson or that I sleep with a note under my pillow telling me how great I am. Sheps : What is your favourite question to ask a guest? Dermot : Depends on the guest really... It's probably a Big Brother based question right now, because everyone has something to say about it and the good thing is that they are all mortified that they have something to say about it. Chat Ed : Last one, Dermot has to run... pussy galore : what's the worst joke you tell? Dermot : I went parachuting last week.
I shot 5 parrots. Chat Ed guffaws, oh gawd Dermot laughs Chat Ed : That's it! Thanks for coming Dermot, that was fantastic. And thanks for all your questions, folks! Hope you all enjoyed it! zara : love u dermont' Dermot : Thank you very much, I'll miss doing T4 loads and see you all soon! Long legs : BYE BABEZ Dermot waves Joelle : BYE WE LOVE T4!
