Dermot O’Leary’s Brighton restaurant shuts

Dermot O’Leary’s seafood restaurant Fishy Fishy in Brighton has hit the rocks and closed its doors after seven years.

The X Factor presenter opened the East Street eatery with friends in 2009.

But on Monday it closed.

Up to 20 people are understood to have lost their jobs.

O’Leary blamed the current financial climate but added that future plans are currently in discussion.
