Comedian Joe Lycett is opening up about the unexpected reactions to his surprise baby announcement last month. Known for his playful sense of humor and elaborate pranks, the announcement left many fans skeptical, with some questioning its authenticity.
In a recent interview, Lycett addressed the doubts, acknowledging his followers’ surprise. “It’s unexpected for me to have a baby because lots of people think of me as the gay bloke off the telly,” he told the Daily Mail. The Late Night With Lycett star even laughed about how some fans speculated that he might have been holding a potato instead of a baby in his reveal.
The interview also confirmed the arrival of Lycett’s baby boy, marking a new chapter in the comedian’s life. Reflecting on his first weeks of fatherhood, Lycett revealed an emotional journey. “The first couple of weeks, I did a lot of crying,” he shared. “I’d feel nostalgic for the future, imagining what he’ll be like at 20 or worrying about him as an old man when I can’t be there for him.”
Lycett, who welcomed the baby with his partner, is keeping her identity private but has humorously referred to her as “Denise” in the past.
While fans might still be adjusting to the idea of Lycett as a dad, the comedian appears fully immersed in the joys and challenges of parenthood, proving that even life’s most heartfelt moments can have a touch of humor.
