He revealed: “I was lucky enough to get that done at the start of lockdown, finished just before he came along.
“Before you have a kid, you have these things when you think, ‘I will just do it then’. No, not gonna happen.”
Dermot also revealed that his own cat Toto was the inspiration for the book.

Dermot told The Sun: “I’ve had my state-of-the-union meeting with Cowell as well.
“You’re watching the show one day and going, ‘I’m not in any of this’.
After telling Simon, Dermot revealed: “He goes, ‘Yeah, I totally agree. Yeah, absolutely.’ Then you go, ‘Great, now I can just have a great time,’ because he’s great company.”
Well, sorted!
