Dermot Bannon is married to Louise Bannon, who adopted Dermot's surname. But, the reason behind it is hilarious. Dermot, in an interview on the Claire Byrne Show, revealed the reason. He said that while they went on holiday to America, his wife booked the tickets in the name of 'Bannon' for two.
While it came to issue the ticket, the cost of changing the name back to her original name was too much. Thus, she decided to get a passport on the same name.
