Dermot dresses up as Chloe Sims and the Dowager Countess
To help launch the voting for this year’s NTAs the gorgeous Dermot O’Leary has not only filmed a very special video message just for you heatworlders, but he’s also dressed up for a exclusive shoot for heat magazine.
Our Derm is virtually unrecognisable as some of our favourite stars from the small screen. Always game for a laugh, Dermot trussed himself up in leopard skin and lashes to become The Only Way Is Essex’s Chloe Sims, and added some bum padding (or a bustle if you want to get technical) to become Dame Maggie Smith’s much loved Dowager Countess from Downton Abbey.
Doesn’t Dermot look spectacular?
A win for Dermot?
“It would be great if someone a bit left field won an award this year – like me!” Dermot shouts, referring to his NTA nomination for Entertainment Presenter. “Ant & Dec have won it for ten years running. It’s time for change!”
“I’d love the X Factor to win, because it’ll be a real vindication of the new judges. But if Strictly win, they’ll deserve it. It’s a lot funnier when Simon’s there [at the awards]. He hates to lose. Last time we lost, I was two seats away from him and his face was amazing. So at least if we lose we’ll all get to see that again.”
On dressing up as the Countess, he said: “I do like dressing as a woman, though this bustle makes me look like Kim Kardashian!”
As for transforming into Chloe, he said, “How can she see through these eyelashes?”
